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

Efficient Topical Formulation Development - A Skin Absorption Test in Vitro

Topical Formulation Developmen   Do you need to know how efficient topical formulation development   is? A skin absorption test named in vitro can deliver all the answers related to this question. Every agrochemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, consumer and chemical industries are running the formulation of the topical development for more than 30 years. This testing gets applied to any dermal, transdermal, and topical products.  The selection of a perfect leading candidate is a significant part of drug discovery. But in topical products, the potentiality of the drug's delivery is often overlooked. It leads to the development of expensive efficacy programs with no confirmation of skin delivery. For the topical development, both the formulation and the test item alone get implemented in the GLP security tests. The  topical formulation development  companies prepare a list of simple topical formulation families and then later test them for dermal delivery and absorption in the human sk
