Formulation Foundations: A Peak Behind the Development Curtain

Finding the right formulation is not always a fun endeavor for the practitioner or patient, and can be the make or break for patient adherence. In fact, an active ingredient without a thoughtful, purposeful, clinically translatable vehicle is like peanut butter without jelly (though for us PB lovers who eat it from a spoon maybe that is not the best analogy). But how are we to think critically about the lotion or potion in which our cutting edge topical therapies are suspended/dissolved when this is not part of our training or CME? No need to answer because we have got the C.R.E.A.M. Joining podcast host Dr. Adam Friedman is formulation foreman Dr. David Osborne, Chief Technical Officer at Arcutis Therapeutics. Let us just say there is a really good chance you have prescribed something my man has invented over the past several decades. Uncap your knowledge gap and tune in to learn about key vehicle considerations to keep your form in check.
