Abstract

A method of preparing a freeze-dried dosage form including a water soluble active agent is disclosed. The water soluble active agent is bonded to an ion exchange resin to form a substantially water insoluble complex. This complex is then mixed with a compatible carrier and freeze-dried. The resulting freeze-dried dosage form contains an effective unit dosage amount of the active agent and exhibits enhanced compositional and physical stability, as well as permitting processing according to conventional freeze-drying techniques.
