Abstract
A thermodynamically stable molecular solution providing enhanced bioavailability for lipophilic pharmaceutical agents, comprising a liquid carrier comprising one or more physiologically acceptable lipophilic fluorochemicals, and a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one lipophilic pharmaceutical agent in said liquid carrier to form a thermodynamically stable molecular solution, optionally also including a co-solvent for facilitating solubilization of the pharmaceutical agent. Methods of making and using the molecular solution are also disclosed.
