Cocrystal formation is one of the latest approaches for improving the various parameters of a drug molecule such as solubility, melting point, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and bioavailability. Cocrystals are crystalline single state materials composed of two or more than two different molecular amalgams held together in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. There are various techniques used for the preparation of cocrystals such as solvent evaporation, grinding, and cooling crystallization. The quantitative and qualitative aspects of these cocrystals are evaluated using various validated instruments such as nuclear magnetic resonance, powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry.</p>}, number={7}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={BIJAY KUMAR YADAV and ATIF KHURSHEED and RATTAN DEEP SINGH}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={68–74} }
