Unraveling the Impact of Polymeric Material Attributes in Topical Products: Paving the Way for Consistent Viscosity
Semi-solid dosage forms are complex drug delivery systems containing one or more active ingredients dissolved or dispersed uniformly in the product. Viscosity modifiers are polymers that hydrate upon interaction with solvents and impart an increase in viscosity. It is often difficult to choose the right grade of the polymer and identify the correct amount that produces a consistent viscosity. The video presentation and research poster discuss the importance of polymer selection during formulation development.
