Lipid-based formulations
Lipid-based formulations are medical or pharmaceutical delivery systems that use fats or oils to help deliver drugs more effectively in the body. Many medicines, especially those that don't dissolve well in water, can benefit from being combined with lipids to improve absorption and bioavailability. These formulations create tiny fat droplets or emulsions that can protect the drug from degradation and facilitate its absorption through the digestive system or other tissues. They are commonly used to optimize the delivery of poorly soluble drugs, making treatments more effective and consistent while reducing side effects.
