Abstract:In this study, the methods and resources to improve the bioavailability and solubility of poorly soluble medications are covered. Common supports that may function as solubilizers, disintegrants, and binders in tablet formulations include hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and starch. It has been shown that HPC increases the solubility and rate of drug dissolution for medications such as caffeine and itraconazole. HPC is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. When combined with other components, it may be use… Show more
