Topical Gels

Meaning

Topical gels are semi-solid pharmaceutical formulations specifically designed for non-invasive application to the skin or mucous membranes, serving as a transdermal delivery system for active pharmaceutical ingredients, including hormones. These preparations facilitate the systemic absorption of the medication directly into the bloodstream, effectively bypassing the initial first-pass metabolism in the liver. They offer a flexible and convenient dosing option for personalized hormone replacement therapy.
