The Semi-solid Control Diagram (SSCD) is a new tool designed for the study of different excipients and different semi-solid dosage forms. It can be used to review and evaluate different formulations and/or batches and facilitate the selection of one of them that will present the most suitable galenic characteristics for topical application. It is also useful to track stability studies by comparing the diagrams, which allows to measure the impact of subjecting the formulation to different conditions and times to be examined. In this study, the Semi-solid Control Diagram (SSCD) is used as an instrument for studying and evaluating semi-solid pharmaceutical dosage forms, by comparing several different semisolid preparations (lipogels). With these results, the tool is validated and the best formulation has been discriminated from the others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
