The present disclosure provides improved film based pharmaceutical products containing uniformly distributed drug or active agent particles (e.g., to achieve improved/excellent dissolution control including enhancing dissolution and bioavailability and/or product uniformity). More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved systems/methods for fabricating film based pharmaceutical products by utilizing higher surface modified micronized drug or active agent powders and film forming precursors and drying methods that accomplish improved/efficient drying and provide improved/excellent content uniformity of active pharmaceutical agents in the fabricated film based pharmaceutical products. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for an easier means of directly incorporating dry micronized poorly water-soluble drugs or active agent particles (e.g., fenofibrate ('FNB')) into films. The present disclosure demonstrates some advantages of direct incorporation of surface modified-micronized poorly water-soluble drug or active agent powders in film manufacturing.
