Drug solubility enhancement
Drug solubility enhancement involves improving how well a medication dissolves in body fluids, which is crucial for its effectiveness. When a drug dissolves better, it can be absorbed more efficiently into the bloodstream. Techniques to enhance solubility include altering the drug’s form (like making tiny particles), using special carriers (such as liposomes or nanoparticles), changing the pH environment, or adding solubilizing agents. These methods help overcome the natural tendency of some drugs to be poorly soluble, ensuring they work as intended and providing better therapeutic outcomes.
