Experience Makes the Difference.

NASAL

With a state-of-the-art laboratory, cutting edge spray characterization instruments, almost 20 years in nasal experience and successful commercialization of products for the US and European markets, Renaissance is the “one-stop shop” for all your nasal spray formulation, development, testing, and commercialization needs. Our expert technical staff are continually contributing to the pharma industry’s understanding of nasal spray behavior through publications and presentations. Our capabilities cover both development and commercial scale manufacture of unit dose, bi-dose and multi-dose nasal sprays in environmentally controlled production facilities. With an excellent history of regulatory approvals, we are able to onboard projects at any stage of their life-cycle – from initial concept, through formulation development/optimization and clinical manufacture, to the transfer of existing commercial products.
