Abstract
Isotonic, iso-osmotic, pH balanced thermoreversible gels are ideal medical devices or vehicles for drug injection into the body of a mammal. The osmolality in the gel state can be calculated by assuming that a polyoxyalkylene block copolymer or polyether present in said gel does not contribute to the osmolality in the gel state, although it does contribute to the osmolality in the liquid state.
