Also taken from the 10-K report is this list of vitamins and OTC products that have the potential for ODT delivery. This does not imply SCRC is developing RapiMeds for all these areas, but the possibilities are endless. One in particular - ZANTAC. Keep in mind, this list is only OTC and vitamins and doesn't include any Big Pharma products which I'm sure would benefit by ODT technology. Go SCRC!!!
