Technology of S. TAC

S.TAC EX NEO adopt SSP’s unique “quick action” technology. We succeeded in stabilizing the OTC drug by storing the antipyretic analgesic ingredient, ibuprofen, and the gastric mucosal protection ingredient, magnesium oxide, which often trigger changes when combined, in a swellable polymer mesh that reduces mutual contact. As a result, ibuprofen is dissolved and absorbed into the body quickly.
