  • Abstract:
  • As compaire to other semisolid dosage form gels or other topical dosage form shows advantages in pharmaceutical preprations and cosmetics. Medications in gel form usually have a faster rate of release than those in topical ointments and creams. Term "Emulgel" describes a combination of gel and emulsion. To alleviate symptoms or cure diseases, a topical drug delivery device applies the medicine directly to the skin. One big drawback of the gels is that they can't transport hydrophobic drugs. The Emulgels are able to overcome it. In dermatology, emulgels are advantageous for numerous reasons, such as their thixotropic properties, lack of grease, ease of spreading, detachability, emollient properties, water solubility, prolonged shelf life, biocompatibility, transparency, and aesthetic appeal. Another important consideration is the possibility of extending the drug release of hydrophilic medications without the use of emulgel.
