Solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems of nimodipine: development and evaluation
Abstract
Background
This study aimed to formulate solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) for nimodipine (NIM). The selection of Cremophor RH 40, Lipoxol 300, and PEG 400 as oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant was based on solubility and self-emulsification assessments. A ternary…
