One of the foremost reasons for such a widespread interest in nanosuspensions as drug delivery systems is their ability to provide formulations of poorly soluble drugs with increased saturation solubility and higher dissolution rates. Nanosuspensions manifest these properties because of their small size and high surface area. The unique properties of the nanosuspensions along with their fast development times, low production costs, ease of manufacture and scale-up as well as their ability to extend the lifecycle of off-patent drugs have resulted in rapid commercialization. Nanosuspensions provide us with a useful tool for formulating an ever-increasing number of poorly water soluble drugs in pharmaceutical development programs.
