The present invention refers to a process to prepare a highly activated composite of one or more water-insoluble drugs, said process comprising the steps of: (a) subjecting said water-insoluble drug and a cross-linked polymer to co-grinding (b) exposing the ground product of step a. to contact with water or water vapors. The resulting composite contains large amounts of drug in the easily soluble amorphous form, reduced amounts of drug in the nanocrystalline form, and is substantially free from practically insoluble drug crystals.
