摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms for administration of hydrophobic drugs, particularly steroids, are provided. The pharmaceutical compositions include a therapeutically effective amount of a hydrophobic drug, preferably a steroid; a solubilizer, preferably a vitamin E substance; and a surfactant. The synergistic effect between the hydrophobic drug and the vitamin E substance results in a pharmaceutical formulation with improved dispersion of both the active agent and the solubilizer. As a result of the improved dispersion, the pharamaceutical composition has improved bioavailability upon administration. Methods of improving the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs administered to a patient are also provided.
