Spray-Dried Paracetamol/Polyvinylpyrrolidone Amorphous Solid Dispersions: Part I—Stability of Powders and Tablets

The formulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is a promising approach to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds. However, problems often arise in the production of tablets from ASDs regarding the compressibility and recrystallizati...
