Catalent Expert to Discuss the Importance of Formulation to Benefit Diabetes Patients at NLS Days
On Thursday, Sept. 12 at 8:45 a.m., Dr. Harris will participate in the “Digitalization for the Benefit of the Diabetes Patient” panel session. The panelists will present different perspectives of how diabetes patients can benefit from recent digital advancements including viewpoints from the pharmaceutical industry, digitalization experts, and patient support groups. Dr. Harris will discuss the importance of formulation to overcome drug factors such as poor solubility and patient factors, including pill fatigue from the burden of multiple daily doses. He will also explain ways in which formulators can work with device developers on complex drug products to improve patient outcomes.
