Improvements to the Bioavailability of Hydrophobic Drugs

Overview

Hydrophobic agents are widely used in medicine, as well as in industry and agriculture, yet some hydrophobic agents have limited bioavailability by oral delivery. Our method of encapsulating hydrophobic agents uses a set of solvents and solutions to micronize the agent, giving it enhanced properties and greater bioavailability.
