Amorphous Drug Formulations

Amorphous drug formulations refer to medications where the active ingredient is in a non-crystalline, disordered state, unlike traditional crystalline forms. This disorganized structure often enhances the drug's solubility and dissolution rate, leading to improved absorption in the body. As a result, amorphous formulations can increase the drug’s effectiveness and enable lower dosages. However, they are typically less stable over time, requiring careful formulation and storage. Overall, amorphous drug formulations are a strategic approach to optimize the bioavailability and performance of certain medications.
