Abstract: The invention provides solid dispersions of at least one insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredient, pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising the solid dispersions, and methods of manufacturing same. In an embodiment, a solid dispersion of the present invention includes a plurality of coated particles comprising inert particles with a coating, wherein the coating comprises an insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredient dispersed in a hydrophilic polymer, and wherein the inert particles comprise nonpareils; and a plurality of granules comprising an insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredient with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In an embodiment, the insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredient in the coating and the insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredient of the granules are the same type. A solid dispersion of the present invention may optionally be encapsulated in capsules or compressed into a tablet.
