[Solutions Spotlight] Streamlining oral dose packaging design

By integrating a Quality by Design (QbD) approach, developers can design robust packaging from the outset,  drastically reducing development time and costs. Understanding how moisture affects a product is key, allowing developers to use industry-accepted and validated models to predict and address potential stability issues early in the design phase, thereby reducing the need for prolonged probe stability testing and potential reformulations or packaging redesign.
