Conclusion
Selecting an optimal salt form for development is a critical step in ensuring the efficient and successful development of
a robust product. Salt selection requires a well designed screening strategy that fulfills the essential and desirable criteria
that set the standard for salt screening. In addition, salt selection procedures must also assess the regulatory, intellectual,
and marketing considerations to balance the drug's physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties against commercial considerations.
