Pharmaceutical pellets — also known as multiparticulates — are widely used for controlled-release, taste-masked, and combination oral dosage forms. Whether delivered in capsules, sachets, or as layered tablets, pellets require precise process control, functional coating expertise, and scalable GMP infrastructure. That’s why leading brands rely on specialized pellets CDMO companies for development and production.
With integrated pellets contract manufacturing services, these CDMOs support end-to-end development, from drug layering and spheronization to coating, encapsulation, and packaging.
When evaluating pellets CDMO companies, consider:
Expertise in pelletization techniques: extrusion-spheronization, layering, or prilling
Controlled-release coating capabilities: enteric, sustained, delayed-release
Experience with functional excipients and polymers (e.g., Eudragit®, HPMC)
Particle size distribution control and uniformity testing
Batch scalability for clinical, pilot, and commercial volumes
Capsule or sachet filling options for pellet-based delivery
GMP compliance and regulatory inspection readiness
The ideal CDMO ensures formulation performance, dose accuracy, and patient compliance — especially for modified-release products.
Top-tier pellets contract manufacturing providers offer:
Formulation development for IR, SR, ER, DR, or pulsatile release
Drug layering onto inert cores or APIs
Extrusion and spheronization for uniform pellet production
Functional coating with polymers for targeted release
Blending and encapsulation into hard gelatin or HPMC capsules
Sachet or stick pack filling for oral granular delivery
In vitro dissolution testing and release profile validation
Stability testing and regulatory documentation
These services enable versatile, patient-friendly oral delivery systems that offer superior therapeutic performance.
Collaborating with experienced pellets CDMO companies offers important benefits:
Improved bioavailability through targeted release profiles
Enhanced patient compliance with taste masking and dose flexibility
Reduced GI side effects via delayed or sustained delivery
Fixed-dose combination support through multiparticulate blends
Flexible fill formats in capsules, sachets, or tablets
Pellet-based formulations are increasingly favored for complex oral therapies — and your CDMO partner should support that innovation.
