Exploring the Versatility of Topical Gels: - An Overview
Main Article Content
Abstract
Topical gels represent semi-solid formulations characterized by a phase of matter existence that is fluid encased within A three-dimensional structure made of polymers, typically consisting of synthetic or natural gums with substantial cross-linking, achieved either chemically or physically. Their unique composition enables diverse applications owing to their intermediate state between liquid and solid phases. In recent times, topical gels have garnered significant interest across various sectors, including industry, research, education, drug regulation, and professional fields. Special emphasis is placed on the utilization of gels in drug delivery systems; the discussion serves to provide insights into the versatility and involving landscape of topical gels, catering to the interests and needs of professionals and researchers in diverse domains.
