TECHNOLOGY DEFINITION
EFFERTAB® is a compressing technology allowing to exploit bio-availability of active ingredients without leaving a residue. Available with low sodium content (MINI-Effertab).
One of the most common and accepted way to solve large volumes with rapid onset of action has been the Effervescent tablet. Very low humidity requirements and the controlling of interaction between the effervescent couple compounds, Bicarbonates and Organic acids, mainly citric and Tartaric are needed.
Furthermore, despite difficulties to include amounts of nutritionals, sometime large, SIIT has targeted the development of its own EFFERTAB® technology, that can be applied to finished tablet product destined to be dissolved in one glass of water, generating in about 3 minutes a solution of completely bioavailable ingredients.
The aim can be to release hydro soluble Actives for the most prompt absorption in the stomach , as a solution, for systemic use, in special way in the cases where immediate effect and enhanced plasmatic levels are required.
The shape is typically round. The surface can be white or colored.
BENEFITS
EFFERTAB® technology application benefits are:
1. Pleasant and refreshing way to administrate ingredients
2. Fast onset of action: drug dissolved in the water is readily available; either for buccal local or systemic use with possible absorption of actives already through the oral mucosa
3. Very high patient compliance
4. It reduces the risk for local gastric damages
5. Extremely suitable for children and sport
6. Extremely useful for patients with swallowing disorders
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS
Products already developed contain:
• Anti nausea/vomit
• Digestive
• Anti-flu
• Multivitamins
• Salts of Magnesium and potassium
The natural target of an effervescent tablet is the stomach.
REGULATORY STATUS
Each application of EFFERTAB® on finished products is branded and could be protected by patents issued or pending.
