Eisha Ganju*, Bhaskar Kumar Gupta, Mohit
ABSTRACT
Topical fungal infections are very predominant around the globe. Topical therapy is the primary choice for treating fungal infections because it has advantages such as lowering the risk of systemic adverse effects and directing the drug to the location of fungal infection. The treatment of a fungal infection is dependent on drug molecules penetrating the outermost layer of skin (stratum corneum) at an effective concentration. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) is an alternate carrier system to address difficulties in topical therapies for superficial fungal infections. This review summarizes different about fungal infections, Structure & types of NLC, formulation & characterization, advantages & its application in treating fungal infection.
