MIPS Round

Starting Date:

Feb 1995

MIPS Project Challenge:
Nutramax sought to determine bioavailability/bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic studies needed for Cosamin® and Cosequin® to gain FDA approval.

Project Scope:
Natalie Eddington worked to develop the chewable tablet formulation of Cosequin® for dogs and bioequivalency study needed to support a new animal drug application for Cosqeuin®. She generated pharmacokinetic data to support the NDA for Cosamin®.

Cosamin® was developed by a pharmacist and in 1992 was the First Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate Brand on the market. Cosamin® is a premium joint health supplement that has been available for over 15 years. Cosamin DS is the #1 brand recommended by orthopedic specialists.

Results:

Cosamin® has been shown effective in peer-reviewed, controlled, published U.S. studies, and consistently shown to meet label claim. Cosamin® DS is available at leading pharmacies nationwide.
