Spray drying for enhancing the solubility of poorly soluble drugs

Spray drying continues to gain importance as a preferred manufacturing technology for amorphous solid dispersions (ASD). A fast carrier selection allows for a more targeted development process with reduced time to market. EUDRAGIT® polymers have not only been proven to be superior with respect to ASD formations but can also stabilize the amorphous state of the API over storage.
