Soluplus, Solid dispersion, Drug solubility, Crystallization prevention, Hot-melt extrusion, BioavailabilityAbstract
Many drugs have poor water solubility, which reduces their effectiveness. Solid dispersions are used to enhance the dissolution of such drugs. Soluplus, a polymer, improves drug solubility, prevents crystallization, and enhances absorption. It can be incorporated using techniques such as hot-melt extrusion, spray drying, and solvent evaporation. Incorporating Soluplus in solid dispersions improves drug performance and facilitates better bioavailability.
