Maheshwari has made HSD of paracetamol using urea. In the present study, the aqueous solution of hydrotropic blend (20% urea and 10% sodium citrate) has been found to increase aqueous solubility of poorly water-soluble drug, aceclofenac. This mixedhydrotropic blend was used to prepare solid dispersion of aceclofenac. The prepared solid dispersions have been characterized by IR and XRD studies. They have been studied for dissolution rate enhancement effect. The prepared solid dispersions were found very stable (chemically).<br /><br />}, number={3}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutics (AJP)}, author={Maheshwari, Rajesh Kumar and Indurkhya, Arpna}, year={2014}, month={Aug.} }
