WHAT IS A LIQUID STICK-PACK?
The stick-pack is a unit dosage form that can be used to contain and deliver liquid health products for oral and topical use.
The packaging protects the contents from moisture, oxygen and light. Thanks to its small size and compactness, the unit-dose is user-friendly and very practical for everyday life.
PATIENT BENEFITS

- “These ready-to-use formulas are suitable for everyone: children, teenagers, pregnant women and older people.”
