Emulgel: A Novel Approach for Topical Drug Delivery System

Abstract

The use of topical drug delivery systems is expected to witness a significant rise in the future due to improved patient compliance. Emulgel have emerged as a popular choice among various options available in this domain. Emulgel possess several advantages, including excellent spreadability, adhesion, viscosity, and extrusion properties, which enhance their effectiveness as drug delivery systems. One notable advantage of emulgel is their ability to accommodate hydrophobic drugs within water-soluble gel bases. This characteristic is particularly valuable as many drugs exhibit hydrophobic properties and are not easily soluble in water. By formulating these drugs into emulgel, topical administration becomes more convenient and efficient. As a result, emulgel have the potential to revolutionize drug delivery, offering improved therapeutic outcomes and patient satisfaction. Continued research and development in this field are expected to lead to further advancements and applications of emulgel in delivering a wide range of therapeutic agents.
