Manisha Singh, Vineet Mittal
Abstract: The present research has been undertaken with the aim to formulate and evaluate the herbal gel containing Ipomoea fistulosa stem extract. The gel formulation was designed using ethanol extract of Ipomoea fistulosa stem and evaluated using physiological measurements. The gel was formulated using accurately weighted amount of drug extract along with other additives, poured into the fixed amount of hydrated Carbopol-934 dispersion with constant stirring. The herbal gel formulations prepared were subjected to preliminary evaluation such as pH, Spreadability, Extrudability, Drug content uniformity, Viscosity and In vitro diffusion study. The pH of all the formulations was checked and found to be compatible with the normal pH range of the skin and so chances of skin irritation are least.
