Emulsions as solid dosage forms for oral administration

Novel emulsion compositions which improve the rate and/or extent of absorption of drugs are disclosed. The novel emulsion compositions of the present invention include drug-containing emulsions adsorbed onto solid particles which may be further formulated into solid dosage forms, methods of preparing such emulsion compositions and their uses thereof. The emulsion compositions and their dosage forms improve the drug-load and the bioavailability of a wide range of drugs including drugs that are known or suspected of having poor bioavailability by the utilization of several different mechanisms.
