Self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) are lipid-based formulations, designed to improve the solubility of poorly-water soluble drugs. Mesoporous silica is frequently used for SMEDDS solidification by various techniques. One of them is wet granulation, which enables achieving both high…

Introduction Thin films are polymeric strips that disintegrate in the oral cavity and consist of a film-forming agent and an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Generally, thin films disintegrate within seconds, but their composition can be modified to allow slower disintegration and release of…
