Lipid-Based Drug Delivery of Cannabinoids

Join this webinar to learn how to improve the solubility and bioavailability of cannabinoid actives. Employing lipid-based drug delivery is an optimal approach to the formulation of cannabinoids, providing greater per-oral absorption and improving the overall effectiveness of these therapies.

Event Overview:

While per-oral delivery is the patient-preferred route of administration, the per-oral dosing of cannabinoid actives is not trivial. Due to low solubility and extensive first pass metabolism, the per-oral dosing of cannabinoid actives often results in relatively low bioavailability. Lipid-based drug delivery, including self-emulsifying drug delivery, readily provides for improved per-oral solubility and bioavailability of cannabinoid actives, increasing the therapeutic effectiveness of these products.

Key Learning Objectives:

• How lipids improve the per-oral solubility and bioavailability of cannabinoids
• How to formulate self-emulsifying cannabinoid delivery systems
• How to analyze emulsion characteristics

Who Should Attend:

• Formulation scientist
• Formulator
• CEO
• Nutritional formulator
