Gallipot, Inc.

Suspending AgentGallipot introduces SyrSpend SF, a one-step suspending vehicle for oral liquids. A new starch-based technology provides a sweet, sugar-free suspending agent, and because of its low osmolality, SyrSpend SF can result in fewer reports of GI upset, especially from pediatric and geriatric patients. The starch technology can also result in long-lasting suspendability, with less clumping than cellulose systems. SyrSpend SF is available in unflavored, cherry, and grape varieties.
