Permeation studies using hairless mouse skin<br />

The Methocel ® matrix, formulation A, was further investigated using the hairless mouse skin as<br />

the diffusion barrier. Here the drug release was observed to be reduced significantly to 1.3mg/<br />

(24h) compared with 11.75 mg/(24h) through the cellulose membrane. The formulation was<br />

further modified with the inclusion of
