Abstract: Objective :To prepare cetirizine hydrochloride gel and study its skin penetration in vitro. Methods : Cetirizine gel was prepared with carbopol 940 as base material.Using Franz diffusion cell and excised rat skin in vitro as transdermal barrier.The cumulative permeation quantity of cetirizine was determined by HPLC. Results :The penetration equation of cetirizine gel was Q=110.03t+17.17(r=0.99). Conclusion :The penetration of cetirizine from the gel through the rat skin followed first-order kinetics.
