Abstract: Amorphous materials have always been an essential part of pharmaceutical research They are important
because of their characteristic solubility characteristics, common occurrence, and physicochemical instability relative to
corresponding crystals. Some pharmaceutical agents have a tendency to exist as amorphous solids, while others require
prevention of their crystallization to remain in the amorphous state in order to achieve desire characteristics. Amorphous
solids can be stabilized by some common pharmaceutical processes like solid dispersion technique, solvent evaporation,
milling, lipid dispersion. This article reviews the methodologies and approaches for stabilization of amorphous form.
