TD Ultramax Gel is a new generation of PLO gels with higher capacity to incorporate APIs. Transdermal delivery of APIs is effectively used for both acute and chronic therapy over the las decade. Therefore we designed a vehicle that meet the demand of varying percentages of APIs, and also pharmacists demand for time- efficient and uniform compounding. This base accommodates higher percentage of APIs beyond the range of basic PLO gels.
100G, 500G
Transderma PLO (Pluronic Lecithin Organogel) Ultramax gel answers the need for ready-to-use vehicles to incorporate higher percentages of active drugs, without disturbing the elegant nature or the efficacy of the gel.
