1. A method of increasing solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), comprising co-attriting a dry or substantially dry mixture of the API and a solubility-enhancing excipient with a kneading or extrusion device without heating, and if needed, applying cooling to the device to maintain temperature below the melting point of the API to form a co-attrition mixture, and applying an attrition force sufficient to increase the API solubility by at least 20%, wherein the API content in the co-attrition mixture ranges from 10% to 90% by weight, and wherein the co-attrition mixture is a solid or semi-solid dispersion comprising the API in a crystalline or partially crystalline form.
