NANOSTRUCTURED EZETIMIBE COMPOSITIONS, PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM
The present invention is directed to nanostructured Ezetimibe compositions, process for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The nanoparticles of Ezetimibe according to the invention have an average particle size of less than about 400 nm. The stable nanostructured particles of the invention are presented by increased solubility, dissolution rate, permeability and bioequivalent or enhanced biological performance compared to the marketed drug. Ezetimibe is an anti-hyperlipidemic medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels. It acts by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the intestine.
