Effect of a Cationic Surfactant on Microemulsion Globules and Drug Release from Hydrogel Contact Lenses

Effect of a Cationic Surfactant on Microemulsion Globules and Drug Release from Hydrogel Contact Lenses

The present study evaluates the in vitro release of diclofenac sodium (DFNa) from contact lenses based on poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (pHEMA) hydrogels containing an embedded microemulsion to extend release duration. The oil (ethyl butyrate)-in-water microemulsion systems are prepared with two...
