Experience foam for topical drug delivery
Pharmaceutical foams are becoming more popular probably due to more topical medicines being switched to OTC and the need to innovate and differentiate ‘brands’ and an increasing awareness of the importance of formulating to deliver sensorial benefits and positive impact on patient experience and adherence. Gattefossé, as a leading provider of excipients for the pharmaceutical industry, manufactures solubilizers and texturizers for skin drug delivery. In this white paper we give formulation tips for propellant and propellant-free foams with guidelines on how to formulate and select excipients and case studies with model drugs.
