Topical gels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Topical gels are a topical drug delivery dosage form commonly used in cosmetics and treatments for skin diseases because of their advantages over cream and ointment.[1][2][3][4] They are formed from a mixture of gelator, solvent, active drug, and other excipients, and can be classified into organogels and hydrogels.[1][5][6][7] Drug formulation and preparation methods depend on the properties of the gelators, solvents, drug and excipients used.[1][2][5][3][8]
