In-vitro Testing for Future Challenges for Veterinary Dosage Forms

The oral route of administration is one of the most used for veterinary products. When developing formulations that are going to be applied to different animal species it is important to consider the physiological differences among the these species. This workshop will discuss the biopharmaceutics aspects of veterinary dosage forms. The first day will be dedicated to discuss the challenges when working with different animal species and the physiological differences for dogs, cattle, pigs, horses, and poultry that may impact the oral administration of drug products. On the second day several cases studies on development of dissolution tests for unusual drug products, such as medicated feeds, chewable, and palatable dosage forms, will be presented.
