“Autoinjectors: Devices, Therapeutic Markets, Strategies and Prospects”
The administration of therapeutic drugs via injection is an indispensable delivery method for numerous drugs critical to patient health and well-being. Now this segment is evolving in response to changing patient populations, new classes of powerful therapeutic drugs and healthcare administration initiatives. For drugs developed for self-administration, autoinjectors have been shown to provide a more user-friendly outer package and improved compliance. While autoinjectors are sometimes designed to work with a particular injectable product as a form of pharmaceutical branding, the typical autoinjector is designed to fit one or more standard sizes of prefilled disposable syringes. Until recently, autoinjectors were designed to be reused. The reason was that the injectors were too expensive to be successfully marketed as a throw-away device. Recent improvements in materials technology and device design have led to the creation of a class of autoinjectors that can be made economically in high production quantities, opening the door for the disposable autoinjector, and providing expanded opportunities for both patient and drug marketer.
