The Globally Recognised Oral Vehicle Product Line now distributed in the UK and Ireland by Active Pharma Supplies Ltd.

 

The Ora range is a well established range of special formulated oral liquid vehicles manufactured for small batch, pharmacy compounding / extemporaneous use and pharmaceutical special manufacturing use to enable simple transformation of a solid dose form into a liquid dose form. This can be done by adding crushed or modified existing dose forms at the correct strength or adding pure active substance (API) powder.
The manufacturer has an established library of stability studies that enables you to select the correct vehicle for the correct medicine or pharmaceutical substance. This is a great plug and play option for pharmaceutical compounders and manufacturers. The product can also be used to mask bitter flavours or medication that is otherwise difficult for patients to comply with.
