Our client wanted to formulate an OTC drug active into a nutrition bar and to be able to identify a partner that could manufacture it. This project posed multiple complications:

1. bar formulation would require specialized expertise to ensure proper product aesthetics,
2. the drug material absorbs moisture and would cause the bar to solidify without proper barrier packaging, and
3. nutritional bars don’t typically include OTC drugs and therefore, the facilities used to manufacture them aren’t typically FDA certified.
