Improved oral absorption profile of itraconazole in hypochlorhydria by self-micellizing solid dispersion approach

The present study was aimed to evaluate the applicability of a self-micellizing solid dispersion (SMSD) system of itraconazole (ITZ) with the use of Soluplus® to achieve improved dissolution and stable oral absorption of ITZ under hypochlorhydric conditions. The SMSD of ITZ (SMSD/ITZ) was prepared by the freeze-drying method. Physicochemical properties of SMSD/ITZ were assessed in terms of morphology, crystallinity, particle size, thermal...
