PRODUCTS & TECHNOLOGY In 1968, Dr. Alejandro Zaffaroni founded ALZA Corporation on the vision that drug delivery technology can add value to pharmaceutical products by precisely controlling the targeting, timing, and dosing of therapeutic compounds. Today, ALZA's technologies are incorporated in over 30 products marketed by its partners in more than 80 countries around the world.
ALZA developed products have provided therapy for millions of patients throughout the world. The company's osmotically controlled oral system (OROS®), transdermal (D-TRANS®), and implantable (DUROS®) technologies have found applications in many widely used pharmaceutical products, including Duragesic® (fentanyl) CII, NicoDerm® CQ® (nicotine), Ditropan XL® (oxybutynin), Concerta® (methylphenidate) and Viadur® (leuprolide acetate). Additionally, STEALTH® liposomal technology is designed to improve efficacy and reduce toxicity of intravenous drugs via site-specific targeting.
ALZA's newer drug delivery technologies - including E-TRANS® transdermal, Macroflux® transdermal, and ALZAMER® depot injection technologies - provide multiple approaches to improving current and future therapies. These novel technologies are designed to offer convenient, comfortable alternative methods currently used to administer proteins, peptides, and new biotechnology products.
