Food & Drug Interaction Studies
Alcami is equipped and ready to handle study design and execution of food interaction studies to support a variety of oral solid dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and suspensions. Our subject matter experts have developed and executed studies using infant formula, yogurt, orange juice, apple sauce, smoothies, and a variety of other foods and drinks.

Key Concepts
- Alternate methods for administration are often needed for solid oral dosage forms, especially for pediatric and geriatric patient groups
- Foods and drinks are often used as taste-masking agents and thus require food studies
- Complex analytical methodology may be needed due to the wide variety of matrices encountered
- Evaluation of functionality after exposure, compared to a control
- Evaluation of the stability of the product in the food or drink under test
- Studies are designed around an understanding of the chemical characteristics of the active and excipient components, as well as the foods/drinks to be evaluated
