Answering your questions: a comprehensive FAQ guide to Unither's pharmaceutical services

At Unither Pharmaceuticals, we understand that navigating the world of pharmaceutical development and manufacturing can raise numerous questions. To provide clarity and insight into our services, we’ve compiled a comprehensive FAQ guide addressing the most common queries about what we do and how we can support your pharmaceutical needs.

What is a CDMO ?

A pharmaceutical CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) is a specialized company that provides a range of services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. CDMOs play a crucial role in the drug development and manufacturing process by offering services such as drug formulation development, analytical testing, clinical trial manufacturing, and commercial-scale production.

What is the benefit of working with a CDMO ?

By outsourcing these services to CDMOs, pharmaceutical companies can benefit from specialized expertise, reduce costs, and accelerate the development and manufacturing timelines for their drug products. This allows pharmaceutical companies to focus on their core competencies, such as research and marketing, while leveraging the specialized capabilities of CDMOs for other aspects of the drug development and manufacturing process.

What are the key services of a CDMO ?
  • Drug Development Services: CDMOs assist in the development of new pharmaceutical products, including formulation development, pre-formulation studies, and analytical method development.
  • Clinical Trial Manufacturing: CDMOs manufacture small batches of pharmaceutical products for use in clinical trials, ensuring that the drug is produced according to regulatory standards for testing in humans.
  • Commercial-Scale Manufacturing: Once a drug successfully completes clinical trials and receives regulatory approval, CDMOs can scale up production to meet commercial demand.
  • Analytical and Quality Control Services: CDMOs conduct rigorous testing and quality control to ensure that pharmaceutical products meet regulatory standards for safety, efficacy, and quality.
  • Regulatory Support: CDMOs provide expertise in navigating regulatory requirements and help clients comply with various regulations governing the pharmaceutical industry.
  • Technology Transfer: CDMOs assist in transferring technologies from the client or another manufacturing site to ensure a smooth transition between different phases of drug development and manufacturing.
