Abstract :

Abstract Emulgels are used for a variety of drugs, including steroids, some antibiotics, analgesics, and antifungal agents. They address many of the disadvantages associated with other topical agents such as ointments, creams, and lotions. These traditional formulations can be sticky, cause discomfort for patients, have a limited spreading coefficient, and sometimes require vigorous rubbing for application. Moreover, they may encounter stability issues. One significant limitation of traditional gels, despite their benefits, is their ability to effectively deliver hydrophobic drugs.
