Abstract
A novel apparatus and process for crystallizing submicron-sized crystals of a pharmaceutical composition. The submicron-sized crystals, which have an average size of less than 1 micron, provide high surface area end product crystals with greatly improved stability and purity, and which afford crystals having improved bioavailability, higher dissolution, decreased decomposition rate and longer shelf-life.
