Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore the necessity, advantages and different techniques of solid dispersion for enhancing solubility of poorly soluble drugs.Approach: Different types of solid dispersion have been explained briefly along with the various techniques of solid dispersion in detail.Findings: Solid dispersions of poorly soluble drugs have been found to give positive results in enhancing its solubility and dissolution characters.Conclusion: Solid dispersion techniques improve solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Solid dispersions can be incorporated into various dosage forms with wide range of applicability.
