EMULGEL: A NOVEL APPROACH TO TOPICAL DRUG DELIVERY
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Emulgel is an emerging topical drug delivery system to which if more effort is done towards its preparations with more number of topically effective drugs it will prove a boon for derma care products and cosmetic products. Emulgel has emerged as novel drug delivery system to deliver hydrophobic drugs. When gels and emulsions are used in combined form the dosage form are referred as emulgel. The emulgel for topical use has several favorable properties such as being thixotropic, without greasy, easily applicable, removable, emollient, non-staining, water solubility, more shelf life, bio-compatible, transparent & good appearance. Various permeation enhancers can increase the effect, so emulgel referred as better topical drug delivery systems over present drug systems. The use of emulgels can be increased in analgesics and antifungal drugs.
