Weighing the pros and cons of hot-melt extrusion and spray drying. The oral route remains the most preferred method for delivering drugs. It offers good patient compliance due to its acceptability, ...

Particle-engineering technologies, such as crystal design for crystallization and producting cocrystals, particle-size reduction, and amorphous solid dispersions, help to optimize delivery of a drug.

Raman imaging and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate acetaminophen solid dispersions prepared by hot melt extrusion (HME). This experiment confirmed that a high screw speed ...

In industrial production, the surface of the compound may become amorphous due to a small amount of structural damage. It is difficult for conventional instruments to detect this small amount of ...
