Review On Emulgel for Topical Drug Delivery System

The aim of the review is to detail the emulgel formulations for Topical drug delivery system. Emulgel is a new dosage form that can be used topically to deliver a wide range of medications. It is applied to the skin as a semi-solid preparation and comes into contact with the skin's epidermis. The main advantages of topical administration compared to other delivery methods include avoiding first -pass metabolism, taking medications on a continuous basis, improving patient adherence, greater localization, absorption of hydrophobic drugs, higher loading capacity, greater stability, lower manufacturing costs, and controlled release. The oil phase, the aqueous phase, the emulsifiers, polymers, and permeation enhancers used in the formulations all influence how the emulgel is formed. The types, benefits, disadvantages, ingredients, manufacturing processes, and various studies to characterize emulgels, as well as the mechanism of the antifungal agent, various marketed antifungal emulgel formulations, and recent research on antifungal emulsifiers were the main topics of the review.
