NanoCrystal® Technology can significantly decrease time to maximum plasma concentrations.

Where onset of action is delayed by poor dissolution, NanoCrystal® Technology can offer an effective solution. In the example below, a Nanocrystal Colloidal Dispersion™ of naproxen is compared with commercially available dosage forms, which take three to four hours to reach maximum plasma levels in the presence of food. A Nanocrystal Colloidal Dispersion™ of naproxen achieves significant plasma levels in less than 20 minutes, up to 12 times faster than commercial formulations. This is only one benefit a Nanoformulation™ has over conventional formulations.
