Abstract:

The pharmaceutical semisolid dosages are normally present in the form of paste, creams, gels, ointments. Generally, these types of semisolid dosages are used only externally, such as skin allergies, injuries, etc. The bases used in the semisolid pharmaceutical dosage are more sensitive to the skin. The topical semisolid medical dosages are spread smoothly on the body surface. It will react with the cells and injuries for a long time because it adhered to a long time. The main advantages of the semisolid dosage are it does not create side effects. This paper proposes the Nanotechnology-based semisolid dosages, which are more effective than conventional semisolids.

Keywords:
