What Is the Significance of Topical Formulation Development
Even after the exemption of novel excipients, many components are available that one can use in topical formulation development . Selecting the right ones is extremely important. A single wrong excipient can change the drug's ability to penetrate the skin, stability of the drug, its shelf life, or the capability to yield the desired rates. What is the purpose of such a drug? Let us understand the significance of the correct excipients by a few examples. One of the topical drugs of Tergus is utilized as an emulsion cream so that the drug dissolves up to a specific concentration. So they select the excipients that will increase the solubility of the drug. Also, the manufacturer has to take care to prevent oil and water phase separation. Despite all this, a change in formulation resulted in phase separation. The team again made the drug to optimize the concentration of emulsifiers by adding viscosity-generating excipient. In another project of Tergus, the pre-formulation solubilit
