 PROFILE
SkyePharma finds new ways to make the medicine go down. The company develops controlled-release drug-delivery systems that reduce side effects and allow for fewer daily doses; it also formulates generic and super-generic drugs (drugs that are difficult to replicate or that are improved versions of off-patent originals). The company makes the drug-delivery systems, generics, and new drugs under its own name and under contract to other companies. Clients include large pharmaceutical concerns such as GlaxoSmithKline and Abbott Laboratories. Through acquisitions, SkyePharma has been expanding its portfolio, which includes oral, injectable, inhalation, topical, and nanoparticulate solubilization technologies.
