Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical formulation for the topical application of drugs, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's), comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a drug, sodium phosphate buffer, and, optionally, an alcoholic solvent. It has been found that by the addition of sodium phosphate buffer to such formulations, the permeation of the NSAID can be significantly improved.
