Abstracts

EN

The aim of this work was to study the properties of methylcellulose hydrogels with supplements containing chitosan and 1% hydrocortisone. Depending on the composition of the substrate, gels are characterised by a variety of pharmaceutical availabilities. Increasing the concentration of chitosan has an influence on increasing the viscosity, hardness, and cohesiveness of the tested gels.
