Orally administered is prone to causing adverse reactions, while injections administered are not conducive to self-administration of the drug because the patient feels uncomfortable, thereby reducing patient compliance. Transdermal delivery is one solution because it has the potential to improve the safety profile and increase the drug's bioavailability. The use of drug delivery systems based on colloidal particulate carriers such as niosomes has advantages over conventional dosage forms because these particles can act as a reservoir containing the drug and can increase penetration. Based on the discussion presented, gel-based niosomes formulations in various research results show better drug release and permeation through the skin compared to conventional formulations. The presence of cholesterol and surfactant components plays an important role in helping drug permeation through the skin in terms of increasing the number of permeating drug molecules and the depth of permeation that occurs. Hydrogel-forming polymers are the first choice for loading niosomes because they are biocompatible and easy to obtain. Carpobol is the polymer most chosen because of its ability to spread easily, forming homogeneous and transparent preparations.</p> Fith Khaira Nursal Nining Nining Copyright (c) 2024 JIFI (Jurnal Ilmiah Farmasi Imelda) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-03-26 2024-03-26 7 2 114 122 10.52943/jifarmasi.v7i2.1612 GAMBARAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI SARJANA FARMASI TENTANG OBAT GENERIK DAN OBAT PATEN DI UNIVERSITAS IMELDA MEDAN https://jurnal.uimedan.ac.id/index.php/JURNALFARMASI/article/view/1577 <p>Obat Generik adalah obat dengan nama resmi <em>International Non Propietary Name</em> (INN) yang ditetapkan dalam Farmakope Indonesia atau buku standar lainnya untuk zat berkhasiat yang dikandungnya. Obat paten adalah obat baru yang ditemukan berdasarkan riset industri farmasi yang diberi hak paten untuk memproduksi dan memasarkannya setelah melalui berbagai tahapan uji klinis. Mutu obat generik tidak berbeda dengan obat paten karena bahan bakunya sama. Pada umumnya konsumen atau masyarakat lebih tertarik untuk mengkonsumsi produk obat bermerek/produk dagang dibandingkan produk generik, hal itu disebabkan adanya anggapan bahwa obat generik mutunya lebih rendah daripada produk yang bermerek/dagang.
