Abstract

Topical drug administration is a popular and advanced technique that focuses on applying pharmaceuticals directly to the skin to treat and diagnose various diseases and ailments, such as rheumatism, inflammation, and urticaria. The main goal of a topical medicine delivery system is to enhance the drug's permeation through the skin's barrier and promote effective skin diffusion. Emulgel has great potential as a drug delivery system, particularly for medications that are not soluble in water. This novel medication delivery system has a dual release control mechanism that encompasses both gel and emulsion. Emulgel has many benefits, such as being non-greasy, readily applicable, rapidly removed, moisturising, and transparent. Emulgel is often used for the delivery of analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-fungal drugs, and anti-acne treatments, along with other cosmetic preparations. The research on Emulgel has the potential to revolutionize the administration of a broader spectrum of topical drugs, offering a more promising future.
