CBD

The present study aims to develop and characterize cannabidiol (CBD) solid dispersions using Vacuum Compression Molding (VCM) to enhance the drug solubility and release profile. Solid dispersions of CBD and polymers were processed using VCM at 130 °C for 4 min after a prior physical mixing. Five…

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, which are present in cannabis extract, exhibit low bioavailability when administered orally due to significant first-pass metabolism. The use of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) can enhance their dissolution and bioavailability. However, liquid…
