The key focus of this research study was to develop a fluconazole ointment using polyethylene glycol (water soluble) ointment base. Five formulations where each contains 0.5%w/w of fluconazole and 25%w/w of PEG 4000 with varying concentration of PEG 400 were formulated by the method of fusion. The prepared fluconazole ointments were examined visually, pH, Viscidness, Drug content, In-vitro drug release and Antifungal potency where dermatophyte fungi strain was used. Upon evaluation the formulation F5 showed highest % of drug content and antifungal activity and satisfactory results in all assessment parameters and best expressed by Higuchi model indicating that optimum concentration of PEG 4000 and PEG 400 form a potent ointment base for azole antifungals. Through this research study we intend to show PEG ointment base as a safe, efficacious ointment base for Fluconazole and similar azole antifungals that can prove to be effective against fungal dermatological infections.
