4. Using Upsalite® as drug delivery vehicle : Increasing the solubility of poorly soluble drugs by stabilizing their amorphous state
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaciAbstract : Poor aqueous solubility is an issue not only in drug discovery and development but also for registered drug products, since poor drug solubility is often related to poor absorption (bioavailability). There are several methods available to increase the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of pharmaceutical formulations. READ MORE
