formulatedafter

"Formulatedafter" is a term used in the field of pharmaceuticals and drug development to describe a process where a new drug formulation is created based on the properties and characteristics of an existing drug. This approach is often employed to improve the efficacy, safety, or delivery of the original drug. The new formulation may incorporate different excipients, dosage forms, or delivery systems to achieve these goals. For example, a tablet formulation of a drug might be "formulatedafter" an existing injectable form to provide a more convenient and less invasive administration route. This process can also involve modifications to the drug's chemical structure or the use of novel technologies to enhance its performance. The term "formulatedafter" is distinct from "formulatedbefore," which refers to the creation of a new drug formulation from scratch, without a pre-existing drug as a reference. This approach allows for the development of innovative drug delivery systems and the optimization of existing therapies.
