Who we are
Rapid Dose Therapeutics, (RDT) — is a Canadian life sciences company which provides disruptive proprietary drug delivery technologies designed to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
Our inception

We were founded because of a recognized need to move drug delivery to a new level.

Did you know that 40% of the American adult population have difficulties swallowing pills?

We wanted to provide a new way to take therapeutics and vitamins. RDT designed QuickStripTM – a Quick, Convenient, Precise and DiscreetTM alternative to swallowing pills or drinks.

Our mission

Our mission with Rapid Dose Therapeutics is to continually innovate and design novel, convenient, enhanced rapid delivery systems to improve healthcare outcomes and quality of lives for people around the world.

Our technology

Our game-changing proprietary oral fast-dissolving drug delivery system, QuickStripTM, rapidly releases an expansive list of nutraceuticals, therapeutics, pharmaceuticals and a host of over-the-counter medicines.

Our QuickStripTM technology enables active ingredients to enter the blood stream through a rapid dose pathway without being degraded or modified by first pass metabolism of the gastro-intestinal tract and liver and delivers rapid results to the consumer or patient.
