Solid Dispersion

ABSTRACT The aim of the present investigation was to enhance the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of a poorly soluble drug, efavirenz, by preparation of solid dispersions with tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)-1000, a non-ionic surfactant. Phase solubility studies suggested…
