Conclusion<br />

• Using Kollidon ® 30 LP in <strong>the</strong> formulation of<br />

actives highly sensitive to oxidation can significantly<br />

improve drug stability.<br />

• A correlation was found between <strong>the</strong> peroxide<br />

content and <strong>the</strong> stability of <strong>the</strong> model actives.<br />

• Fur<strong>the</strong>r investigations to underline <strong>the</strong> effectiveness<br />

of Kollidon 30 LP in a dry state will<br />

be reported soon.<br />
