Data available in the literature concerning the screening and preparation of drug polymorphs are reviewed. The most effective methods used to obtain polymorphous modifications of drug substances are based on crystallization. Crystallization of polymorphs is governed by both thermodynamic and kinetic factors; therefore, the preparation of certain drug polymorphs requires strict control of the crystallization conditions. Metastable modifications of drugs can be prepared predominantly using non-equilibrium crystallization techniques.
