Product Pipeline
Expanding Our Products to Meet Changing Needs
Our R&D capabilities have expanded beyond tablets, capsules, extracts, and creams to a broad range of effective dosage forms and delivery systems. Our team is constantly developing new products and technologies while continuously improving our exciting product portfolio. Currently, we have seven IPs and 32 delivery methods for a wide range of indications. Additionally, we are developing new formulations to combat sleep disorders, obesity and Parkinson’s disease.
Our latest developments include:
A dried powder inhaler
The advantage of the pulmonary route is quick delivery of drugs into circulation followed by rapid onset of effects. As opposed to smoking, which is highly influenced by the smoking pattern, inhalation via a designated system provides delivery of measured dosage. The formulation is free of tar and other carcinogenic chemicals that exist in smoking. However, systemic delivery of lipophilic drugs through the lungs requires a unique formulation.
Cannabis gel and jellies
Swallowing dysfunction is common in general populations and more common in both young and elderly institutionalized patients.
Therefore, there is a need for novel oral delivery methods like gels and jellies which offer easy swallowing without discomfort or choking and suffocation hazard. Additionally, this mode of administration can exert both local and systemic effect.
Clinical Trials
Panaxia operates in a dynamic ecosystem of caregivers, researchers, and medical centers that nurture a creative approach and deeper understanding, while providing physicians with relevant research and support to drive innovation.
