    TLDR Equisetum arvense extract in gels may enhance drug release for treatments.
    The study investigates the formulation of gels using Equisetum arvense (L.) extract, known for its traditional use in treating skin diseases and hair loss. The researchers prepared gels with 10% and 12% E. arvense extract using methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose as gelling agents. The consistency of these gels was measured with a rotary rheometer. The study highlights the potential benefits of using topical gels for faster drug release at pathological sites, which is advantageous for treating conditions like hair loss.
