NOTES

The Gel was made using a 1.5% solution of Carbopol. To form the gel the solution was neutralised with 10% NaOH.400mg/ml of Water Gel was added Non-Occlusive guards were used to prevent loss of the dose. The dose area was between 10 and 20 cm2. The % absorption was calculated by comparing the amount excreted in the urine with the amount excreted from a parenteral dose and then correcting for incomplete excretion. It was given +/- SEM. I have converted this to SD for this database.
