A Study on Antifungal Hydrogel for Topical Drug Delivery

One of the human body's largest and easiest-to-reach organs is the skin. About one-third of the blood that circulates through the body passes through the skin, which has a surface area of about 3000-inch² on an average adult body. Although there are several alternative routes of administration, topical Clotrimazole-containing preferred hydrogel was made and tested for its ability to effectively treat fungal infections. Based on the site, there are four different kinds of fungal infections. They are ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, and yeast infections. Following the hydrogel's preparation utilising various carbopol, gellangum, ascorbic acid, and polyethylene glycol compositions, it was assessed.
