Abstract: A sustained release composition comprising a polymer and manufacturing method thereof. The sustained release composition comprises a polymer, a bioactive agent, and a release rate determined agent, wherein the release rate determined agent is dispersed in the sustained release composition to control the release rate of the bioactive agent. The method comprises providing an oil phase comprising a bioactive agent, a polymer, and a release rate determined agent; providing an aqueous phase comprising a surfactant; mixing the oil phase with the aqueous phase to form the sustained release composition having a controlled release effect.

Abstract: A method employs the addition of additive to increase the solubility of active ingredients in solution. Furthermore, a nanoparticle apparatus that uses inkjet dispenser is utilized to fabricate nanoparticles. The method comprises: (a) mixing a fenofibrate substance, an organic solvent and a solubility enhancing additive to form a saturated solution; and (b) spray-drying the saturated solution to form the nanoparticles containing fenofibrate, wherein the solubility enhancing additive comprises a surfactant or an excipient.
