The main purpose of this study was to increase the solubility of poorly soluble drug by preparing solid dispersions. Nifedipine (poorly water soluble drug), when prepared as solid dispersion showed increased solubility and dissolution rate. Solid dispersions of Nifedipine were prepared by using silsol 6035 as carrier in various proportions 10%, 20% and 30% by solvent loading (solvent droplet addition)method and various grades of silica by co-milling method in ratios of (1:1, 1:2 and 2:1).
