Solid dispersions (SDs) prepared with water-soluble polymers have been successfully used to increase the solubility of many poorly water-soluble drugs. Although Cefdinir (CEF) is used in many microbial diseases, its bioavailability is quite low due to its low solubility in water. Therefore, CEF is a suitable candidate for the preparation of the SD. In this study, SDs were prepared with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to increase the solubility and bioavailability of CEF and SDs were characterized by analyzes such as solubility and in vitro dissolution studies.
