The hydrogels represent three-dimensional networks comprising physically or chemically interconnected bonds of hydrophilic polymers. These insoluble hydrophilic structures possess the ability to absorb fluids from wounds and facilitate the diffusion of oxygen, thereby expediting the healing process. The primary objective of this current research is to create and assess a hydrogel containing Neomycin sulfate, intended for enhancing wound healing. Neomycin sulfate, an antibiotic employed in the treatment of bacterial skin infections, has proven efficacy in addressing infected lacerations, wounds, torn tissue, fatigue, and minor burns. The hydrogel formulation of neomycin sulfate, designed for topical application to promote wound healing, was developed using guar gum and Carbopol-940, followed by comprehensive evaluations. The judicious selection of appropriate polymers and their proportions is an essential prerequisite for devising and advancing a system for delivering drugs through the skin. The formulated hydrogel exhibited uniformity, strong stability, and improved rates of drug release compared to existing commercial formulations.
