Abstract (2. Language):
Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) have gained exposure for their ability to increase solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. SEDDS
are isotropic mixtures of oils and surfactants, sometimes containing co solvents, and can be used for the design of formulations in order to improve the oral absorption of highly lipophilic compounds. SEDDS emulsify spontaneously to produce fine oil-in-water emulsions when introduced into an aqueous phase under gentle agitation. SEDDS can be orally administered in soft or hard gelatine capsules and form fine, relatively stable oil-in-water emulsions upon aqueous dilution. This article presents an overview of SEDDS and their applications.
