title: [Carbomers and their use in pharmaceutical technology].
abstract: Carbomers, high-molecular polymers based on acrylic acid, are employed in the technology of drugs as auxiliary substances acting as emulsifiers, gel-forming substances, stabilizers of suspensions, and binders in tablets. Their properties are utilized to control release as well as to improve biological availability of drugs. They are physiologically inert, non-sensitizing, and possess excellent thermal stability. They are used for various routes of administration: topical, oral and peroral, vaginal and rectal.
