Abstract
Received: November 30, 2017 Revised: April 5, 2018 Accepted: April 16, 2018 Abstract: Background and Objective: Applying Ethosomal Gels (EGs) in transdermal drug delivery systems has evoked considerable interest because of their good watersolubility and biocompatibility. The aim of present study was to prepare and characterize ethosomes of antileprotic drug Dapsone (DAP) together with an antibiotic Cloxacillin Sodium (CLXS) which may deliver these drugs to targeted site more efficiently than marketed gel preparation of DAP and also overcome the problems related with oral administration of CLXS.
