Diabetes Treatment
CONTACT USPackaging solutions for GLP-1 Type 2 diabetes treatment
SCHOTT Pharma offers a wide range of drug containment and drug delivery solutions for Type 2 diabetes (T2D) management, enabling pharmaceutical companies to focus on drug development while leaving drug-container interaction, shelf life, and administration to us.
Sensitive GLP-1-based drugs such as GLP-1 RA peptides require advanced filling, storage and administration solutions for effective and safe insulin therapy for T2D. With a long history of pharmaceutical packaging, SCHOTT Pharma is your reliable partner for GLP-1-based diabetes treatment.
An alternative to insulin
The landscape of T2D treatment has evolved significantly over the past century. Traditional insulin therapies have long been a cornerstone in managing blood glucose levels for patients with T2D. However, advances in medicine have resulted in a range of GLP-1-based drugs and innovations.These diabetic medicine advancements complement traditional insulin treatments by offering more options and flexibility. GLP-1-based drugs, for instance, mimic the actions of natural gut hormones to promote glucose control. These developments represent a promising step forward in the holistic approach to managing T2D, offering an increasing number of patients a broader spectrum of tools to tailor treatment strategies to their individual needs.
As the global demand for GLP-1-based drugs rises, a reliable container supply, smooth operations, and safe and easy self-administration become more crucial.
The ideal container for your GLP-1-based diabetes treatment
Drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes are continually being improved and updated, but they all consist of tiny molecules that need to be stored safely from the point of filling until administration. Whether it’s GLP-1 RA drugs or the new generation of GLP-1-based medication, safe storage is vital for effectiveness and patient safety. SCHOTT Pharma is proud to offer a broad range of potential packaging solutions, all based on your individual needs.
