ABSTRACT:
Topical drug delivery can be defining as good delivery system for drugs, in which drug directly get interact with skin and give its pharmacological effect to desired site to cure and treat variety of disorder. Gel has major disadvantage because it cannot prepare for hydrophobic drugs this type of limitation can be defeated by emulgel. Emulgel have dual property like emulsion and gel and gives dual release system. Primary disadvantage of lipophilic drug that it does not dissolves in aqueous solvent and cause problem in drug delivery. Emulgels gives a good advantage over gel that hydrophobic drugs are easily dissolve in oil phase and then added in aqueous phase to form w/o type emulsion. These emulgel then incorporate into gel to form emulgel. Emulgel are good carrier for topical delivery of lipophilic drugs and have several advantages over different drug delivery system. Emulgel give better patient compliance and promote controlled pattern of drug delivery due to presence of cross linked structure of gelling agent. Emulgels formulations can be used for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, acne, skin disorder and also in form of cosmetic products.
