A Review on Emulgel: Promising Novel Carrier for Transdermal Drug Delivery System

Abstract

Emulgels are a novel method of drug administration that takes advantage of the special qualities of gels to benefit hydrophobic medicinal moieties. In dermatological pharmacology, they are employed in conjunction with hydrophilic cornified cells to offer a barrier against hydrophilic and hydrophobic chemicals. Transparent gels are becoming more and more common in medicinal and cosmetic formulations. Because polymers can gel, they may be used as thickeners and emulsifiers to create stable emulsions and creams. Emulgels are perfect for topical medication administration since they have benefits in both traditional and innovative vesicular systems. They can also be expanded to include antifungal and analgesic medications. Topical drug delivery refers to the administration of medications via the skin, ocular, vaginal, and rectal channels, among others. Emulgels improve bioavailability and patient compliance because of their dual control and continuous release pattern, enhanced permeability, precise stability, and other characteristics. They are also thermodynamically strong.
