IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Like many other companies and institutions around the world, we are experiencing interference with some of our systems within the TNT network.
We are implementing remediation steps as quickly as possible. We have implemented operational contingencies to continue to complete collections from customers with scheduled stops. For customers who do not have a regular stop, collection should be arranged via our customer service centers.
Customers may experience delays in the transit of shipments, particularly inter-continental or non-EU European delivery, as we work to remediate our systems. Additionally, if customers do not have the facility for self-labeling, they may also experience delays.
We are not able to collect shipments of dangerous goods at this time.
We regret any inconvenience to our customers.
Paediatrics
From Development to Commercialisation
In recent years, as a consequence of the EU Paediatric Regulation (EC1901/2006 and EC1902/2006) and the US requirement for inclusion of Paediatric Investigation Plans (PIP) in all new Marketing Authorisations, Almac has experienced a significant increase in client demand for development and commercialization of paediatric dosage forms.
Our Experience
Our experienced Pharmaceutical Development team have successfully delivered multiple Paediatric formulation development projects including;
- Powder in bottle (PiB)
- Minitablet/granule in sachet
- Minitablet/granule in stickpack
- Sprinkle capsule
- Oral liquid in bottle formulations.
Almac’s expertise extends to commercial manufacturing of these often small scale/low volume products coupled to our ability to offer innovative packaging solutions particularly suited for Paediatric medicines.
Providing these services from a single site assures our clients that the formulation and processing knowledge gained throughout development phase is effectively transferred to ongoing Commercial supply.
