Sandoz boosts Canadian production capacity


Sandoz Canada, a unit of Novartis’ generics arm, has opened a second manufacturing plant at its site in Boucherville, Quebec, boosting local production capacity 66 per cent. The plant, which is due to be fully operational by mid September, comprises manufacturing, laboratory and warehousing space that the firm believes will give it the flexibility it needs to keep pace with increasing market demands. 


Richard Saynor, Head of Commercial Operations for Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Canada and Turkey says that: “The new plant in Boucherville is highly significant for our Canadian operations, and for Sandoz worldwide. It will enable us to triple our production capacity in both vials and ampoules. 


The new plant will manufacture a range of medicines, including opiate analgesics. We currently make 85 different molecules in Boucherville and the plant supplies products globally, although the bulk of sales are in Canada and the US.

Solubility Formulas, Solubility Charts, and Drug Delivery

The Science Behind Solubility: Solubility Formula, Solubility Chart, and Drug Delivery system In the intricate world of pharmaceuticals, understanding solubility is crucial for effective drug development and delivery. Solubility, the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, plays a pivotal role in determining a drug's bioavailability, efficacy, and even its safety profile.  In this article, we will delve into the science behind solubility, exploring solubility formulas, solubility charts, and their significance in drug delivery. The Basics of Solubility: Solubility forms the foundation of drug formulation. It is governed by various factors, including the drug's molecular structure, the solvent's properties, and temperature. When a drug's solubility is low, its absorption into the bloodstream can be compromised, resulting in suboptimal therapeutic effects. To overcome this, scientists employ solubility-enhancing techniques, making solubility formulas and charts i...

The EU MedTech Innovation Pressure: Navigating 2026 "Crunch" and EY-DG SANTE Findings For years, the European Union was the global launchpad for EU MedTech Innovation, but recent data suggests a pivotal identity crisis is looming. A "CE Mark" was often the first major milestone for a startup before tackling the FDA. However, the tide has turned. As we move deeper into the mid-2020s, the medical technology landscape is facing a pivotal identity crisis.  The recent EY-DG SANTE study , commissioned by the European Commission, has provided the data to back up what many MedTech professionals have been whispering in boardrooms: the regulatory burden of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) is creating an "innovation drain." The Data Speaks: Key Findings from the EY-DG SANTE Study The study was designed to monitor the availability of medical devices on the EU market. The results are a wake-up call. According to the ...

​AI Solubility Prediction & 2026 Formulation Trends

If you are a pharmacy student or a researcher in 2026, the old textbooks aren't telling you the whole story. For decades, we learned that solubility was simple: "Like dissolves like." We memorized the Noyes-Whitney equation, looked at a solubility chart , and mixed powders in a beaker. But today, that approach is obsolete. With 90% of new drug candidates classified as "poorly soluble" (BCS Class II and IV), the industry faces an "insolubility crisis." The modern lab doesn't just "dissolve" drugs; it engineers them. We use Artificial Intelligence to predict solubility limits before a molecule is even synthesized. We use lasers and supercomputers to force "brick dust" molecules into the bloodstream. This article is your guide to the New Science of Solubility . We will decode the modern math, the AI tools like FastSolv , and the breakthrough technologies like Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) that are redefining drug delivery in ...
