In this project, we aim to help ensure safe and effective personalised ‘polypills', in which many or all of a patient's medicines are combined in a single dosage form (pill) at personalised dosage levels. This is important because it reduces the number of pills a patient taking multiple medicines must take every day. Specifically, we are developing a new method to understand how drugs interact with each other in polypills and how this affects the release of each drug from these dosage forms. We will employ an advanced form of Raman microscopy and computational chemistry and the work will be carried out at the University of Helsinki, in collaboration with research partners at Uppsala University (Sweden), Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and Otago University (New Zealand).
