Seattle Gummy Company is a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on delivering active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) using innovative gummy (semi-solid chewable gel) formulations.

With the initial focus on pediatric and geriatric markets, SGC’s current drug development program features a suite of gummy drugs for treating allergy, pain, fever, cough, nausea, insomnia, inflammatory, cardiovascular conditions, and bacterial infection. The company has a diverse gummy drug pipeline in the regulatory approval process and has received the FDA approval for its IND of the very first gummy drug formulation in the world.
