Amorphous Solid Dispersion

Amorphous solid dispersion is a technique used primarily in pharmaceuticals to enhance the solubility and absorption of poorly dissolving drugs. In this method, a drug is mixed with a carrier substance and processed to form a solid mixture where the drug is in a non-crystalline, or amorphous, state. This increases the drug's surface area, allowing it to dissolve more easily in the body. By improving solubility, amorphous solid dispersions can make medications more effective and help them act faster, ultimately leading to better therapeutic outcomes for patients.
