Purpose Solid dispersions formulations manufactured by Hot-Melt-Extrusion (HME) have shown to improve drug release for BCS class II drugs, such as Mefenamic acid (MFA). Drug release for MFA is highly dependent on particle size. Commercially available MFA capsules have shown high variability in their…

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…
