Comparative characteristics of gel bases for semisolid dosage forms

Abstract

The article provides an overview of modern data on the main gel bases used in the technology of semisolid dosage forms. The main classes of gelling substances are characterized. According to data, the choice of excipient must be justified from the point of view of the physicochemical properties of the active substance, and depends on the place of application of the gel.
