The possibility to obtain microparticles of arbidol using supercritical antisolvent (SAS)
precipitation method is demonstrated. Non-monotonic dependence of average particle
size on arbidol concentration in methanol and DMSO is observed. The position of its
minimum depends on the type of used solvent. SAS technique allows one to vary the
size (1.8—500 μm) and morphology of arbidol particles which can be operated by
process parameters.
