The invention provides a method for increasing the solubility of nevirapine, including the steps of rendering nevirapine in a gaseous phase; and rendering the gaseous phase in a relatively more soluble solid particulate form. The invention further provides for a crystalline Form-VI (36) of nevirapine having an X-ray diffraction pattern of (2-theta values in degrees) 9.2953, 11.2023, 12.7019, 12.9796, 13.5273, 15.4670, 17.2597, 19.1038, 19.7267, 21.1303, 22.9381, 25.5589, 26.4913, 27.2150, 27.7283, 29.7134, and 33.8343 degrees two theta. The invention further provides for the preparation of microspherical and/or nanospherical Form-V (34) and crystalline Form-VI (36) of nevirapine as well as novel dosage forms including parenteral-, inhalant-, transdermal- and oral dosage forms.
