Bhawana Prasad*, Yogita Tyagi and N. G. Raghavendra Rao
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this work was to optimize the emulgel formulation. When the gel and emulsion are used in the combined form, they are referred to as emulgel. And the use of gels has emerged both in cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations, as compared to the other semisolid preparations. The use of emulgel can be extended in analgesics (aches and pains caused by colds, headaches, muscle aches, backaches, arthritis and other conditions & injuries) and antifungal drugs. The presence of a gelling agent in the water phase converts a classical emulsion into an emulgel. So emulgel can be used as better topical drug delivery systems over present systems. Emulgel is an interesting topical drug delivery system as it has a dual release control system, i.e., gel and emulsion. The review gives knowledge about emulgel including its properties, advantages, and formulation considerations.
