Rivaroxaban (RXN) finds use in the management of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Its poor solubility (5–7 µg/mL) and P-gp-mediated efflux from intestinal lining limits the oral application of RXN. This work assessed the impact of liquisolid compact technique in augmenting the solubility…
