This patent describes a novel process for producing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) preparation in the form beads. The main advantage of the novel method is the ability to directly manufacture an aqueous suspension of API in the form of undissolved particles in a single processing step. Furthermore, very high drug loadings (approaching 100%) can be achieved using this approach.
