The Institute of Pharmacy successfully organized an enriching alumni talk on April 3, 2026, by Ankit Gotecha from Care First Pharmacy on the topic “An Overview of Excipients Used for Semisolid Dosage Forms.”
The session offered a clear and engaging overview of topical drug delivery systems, covering key excipients used in ointments, creams, pastes, and gels. Mr. Gotecha highlighted essential components like waxes, lanolin, beeswax, surfactants, and modern excipients such as Beautyderm, along with their role in formulation development.
He also emphasized critical evaluation parameters including rheology, spreadability, texture, and grittiness, supported by practical case studies that demonstrated how the right excipient selection enhances product performance.
✨ The session was insightful, interactive, and highly valuable for students.
The Institute of Pharmacy extends heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Gotecha for sharing his expertise and making the session truly impactful.
