EFFECT OF NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC POLYMERS ON TOPICAL DELIVERY OF PIROXICAM FROM EMULGEL FORMULATIONS
Sharma Geetanjali* and Bhatt D. C.
ABSTRACT
Synthetic and natural polymers play a vital part in pharmaceutical research and development. Pharmaceutical applications of polymers range from inert bulk excipients to sophisticated drug delivery technologies. The polymers are being used in applications in which they are expected to be pharmacologically inactive and aid in the delivery of existing small molecule or macromolecule drugs. Polymers provide a range of benefits in drug delivery applications that result in improved drug delivery, including controlled release of drugs, adjustable pharmacokinetic and bio-distribution profile, and improved drug safety.
Keywords: Piroxicam, Macromolecule drugs, Pharmacokinetic and bio-distribution profile.
