Gel Dosage Form Definition

A semisolid (1) dosage form that contains a gelling agent to provide stiffness to a solution or a colloidal dispersion (2). A gel may contain suspended particles. Note 1: A semisolid is not pourable; it does not flow or conform to its container at room temperature. It does not flow at low shear stress and generally exhibits plastic flow behavior. Note 2: A colloidal dispersion is a system in which particles of colloidal dimension (i.e., typically between 1 nm and 1 micrometer) are distributed uniformly throughout a liquid.
