Auto-Injector Systems for Injectable Drug Administration

More and more, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are emphasizing combination products as drug developers recognize the value of adding a delivery system to their drug. As this trend develops, pharmaceutical companies are turning to resources that can help them understand combination products, especially the interdependence between a prefillable syringe and an auto-injector.

West’s Glenn Thorpe discusses the ConfiDose® auto-injector system as well as his views on where the industry is heading in the next three to five years, and the future of delivery systems.
