Development of self-emulsifying drug delivery system of the poorly water soluble antihypertensive drug

Drug solubility is an important parameter that governs the performance of the formulation. There is a need to enhance the solubility of Nimodipine, a BCS II drug. We have developed self-emulsifying formulation which showed enhance the bioavailability of the drug. The pharmacodynemic studies were also done, which showed significant increase in the antihypertensive effect of the drug.
