Enhanced Bioavailability with Advanced Formulations
Poor solubility can limit a drug’s effectiveness, but lipid-based formulations offer a proven solution to enhance bioavailability. By leveraging self-(micro)emulsifying drug delivery systems (S(M)EDDS), we improve both solubility and stability, ensuring optimal drug absorption. These advanced formulations create fine emulsions upon digestion, promoting efficient delivery and consistent therapeutic performance.
