Abstract: This invention provides methods for enhancing the dissolution rate of Ibuprofen. More particularly, the invention provides a process for enhancing the solubility of Ibuprofen by intimately coating Ibuprofen particles with a Poloxamer. The invention also provides for a composition comprising a solid dosage form of Ibuprofen, wherein the surfaces of Ibuprofen particles have been intimately coated with a Poloxamer; a composition comprising a fast onset, solid dosage form of Ibuprofen; and a composition comprising Ibuprofen particles intimately coated with a Poloxamer.

Abstract: Lipid emulsion form compositions have been formulated and presented to eliminate adverse injection site reactions associated with the intravenous administration of certain sparingly water soluble, hydrophobic, ionizable drugs in mammals and to provide a solubilized drug form for oral, parenteral or intraarticular administration which enhances drug absorption and the therapeutic efficacy of the drug.

Abstract: This disclosure describes quick breaking, in vivo, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular fat emulsion compositions which incorporate the use of benzyl alcohol as a consurfactant and/or a cosolvent in combination with materials such as synthetic surfactants, e.g. sorbitan triisostearate, triglycerol diisostearate or triglycerol pentaoleate; naturally occurring vegetable oils, e.g. sesame oil, and soybean oil; natural lecithins such as egg lecithin or soy lecithin; saturated or unsaturated aliphatic acids, e.g. oleic acid, hexanoic acid and linolenic acid; and other excipients such as glycerine, polyvinylpyrrolidone, Pluronic.RTM. F-68 and di-.alpha.-tocopherol.
