Hydrogel as a Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Hydrogels are hydrophilic three-dimensional, polymeric networks system. Hydrogel are hydrophilic system and capable of absorbing large amounts of aqueous solvent. It behaves like a semisolid system and generally follow non-Newtonian property. Hydrogel provide easy application, good spreadibility, non-grease, non-staining properly etc. Moreover, hydrogels can be converted to variety of forms apart depending upon the requirement including Newtonian and non-Newtonian slabs, microparticles, nanoparticles, topical gel, films etc. Hydrogels are commonly used …
