Description: Minitablets are currently transforming oral drug delivery in numerous important ways. They offer dosing accuracy and flexibility, precision via dispensing devices, and age-appropriate formats for easy swallowing. Minitablets also enable modified and controlled release to reduce dosing frequency, and can be used in fixed-dose combinations to lessen pill burden. This presentation will cover formulation strategies, clinical applications, and device integration, demonstrating how minitablets enhance adherence and improve outcomes for all patient populations, including pediatric and geriatric patients.

Learning Objectives:

The five critical dimensions of minitablets and how each supports patient-centric dosing solutions.
The ways in which dosing accuracy, flexibility, and dispensing devices can contribute to greater precision and adherence.
Minitablet applications in pediatrics, geriatrics, and chronic therapies, with emphasis on modified release and fixed-dose combinations.
