There have been many efforts to improve oral drug bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. A variety of controlled-release oral delivery systems have been developed to meet these needs. Gastroretentive drug delivery technologies have the potential to achieve retention of the…

Lipid nanoparticles have been widely investigated for their use as either carriers for poorly water soluble actives or as (Pickering) emulsion stabilisers. Recent studies have suggested that the fabrication of lipid nanostructures that can display both these performances concurrently, can enable the…

Three-dimensional printing (3D-printing) is a technology that prints the products layer-by-layer, in which materials are deposited according to the digital model designed by computer aided design (CAD) software. This technology has competitive advantages regarding product design complexity, product…

Rivaroxaban (RXB), a novel oral anticoagulant that directly inhibits factor Xa, is a poorly soluble drug belonging to Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II. In this study, a hot-melt extruded amorphous solid dispersion (HME-ASD) containing RXB is prepared by changing the drug:polymer…
