Title:

55.A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON TOPICAL EMULGEL A NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM

Abstract :

Topical treatments in creams, ointments, gels and lotions are an important part of the dermatological treatment library. They have relatively no serious side effects. Compared to other semi-solid preparations, the use of gels has appeared in cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations. When gels and emulsions are used in combination, they are called Emulgel. Emulgel is a promising hydrophobic drug delivery system. Emulgel is a gelling emulsion by mixing with a gelling agent. The many advantages of gels primarily limit the delivery of hydrophobic drugs. Therefore, in order to overcome this limitation, emulsion methods are used. Emulgel is an interesting topical drug delivery system because it has a dual release control system, namely gel and emulsion. Emulgels have several beneficial properties for dermatological use, such as thixotropy, non-greasy, easy to apply, easy to remove, softening, and Non-staining, long-lasting, clear and pleasant appearance. Therefore, emulsions can be used as a better local delivery system than existing systems.
Key Words: Emulgel, emulsion, gel, topical preparation.
