Medherant

The company develops over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription transdermal patches for drug delivery.

Using its research in bioadhesives and polymer chemistry, the company intends to introduce patches in 2019 which are able to deliver drugs via the transepidermal route.

[1] Medherant's TEPI patch technology aims to provide controlled delivery of the correct dose, and better patient experience.

The technology is also designed to be environmentally and economically efficient, requiring no solvents for the fabrication process.

[2] Medherant is also developing transdermal analgesic patches for pain relief, based on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), e.g. ibuprofen, lidocaine, diclofenac and methyl salicylate, with plans to release its first product on the market by 2019.
