Foams Set a New Pace for the Release of Diclofenac Sodium.

Medicated foams have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional carrier systems in pharmaceutical research. Their rapid and convenient application allows for effective treatment of extensive or hirsute areas, as well as sensitive or inflamed skin surfaces. Foams possess excellent spreading capabilities on the skin, ensuring immediate drug absorption without the need for intense rubbing.

Formulation and investigation of hydrogels containing an increased level of diclofenac sodium using risk assessment tools.

Transdermal delivery of active ingredients is a challenge for pharmaceutical technology due to their inadequate penetration properties and the barrier function of the skin. The necessity of painless, effective, topical therapy for the aging population is growing, and a variety of diclofenac sodium-containing semi-solid preparations are available to alleviate the symptoms of these ailments. Our purpose was to formulate a novel composition with higher drug content to enhance drug release and permeation, thereby providing more effective therapy.

Application of Xanthan Gum and Hyaluronic Acid as Dermal Foam Stabilizers.

Foams are increasingly popular in the field of dermatology due to their many advantages such as easy spreading, good skin sensation, and applicability in special skin conditions. One of the critical points of foam formulation is the choice of the appropriate stabilizing ingredients. One of the stability-increasing strategies is retarding the liquid drainage of liquid films from the foam structure.

Investigation of the effect of polymers on dermal foam properties using the QbD approach.

Dermal foams are promising drug delivery systems due to their many advantages and ease of application. Foams are also considered a novelty in the field of dermatology. In particular, they are beneficial for the treatment of skin conditions where patients have highly inflamed, swollen, infected and sensitive skin, as the application of the foam to the skin surface to be treated minimizes the need for skin contact.

Comparison of Synthetic Membranes to Heat-Separated Human Epidermis in Skin Permeation Studies In Vitro.

In recent years, the study of dermal preparations has received increased attention. There are more and more modern approaches to evaluate transdermal formulations, which are crucial in proving the efficacy of a formulation. The aim of this study was to compare permeation across innovative synthetic membranes (Strat-M and Skin PAMPA membranes) and heat-separated human epidermis (HSE, gold standard membrane) using four different dermal formulations.
