MICROEMULGEL: AS A NOVEL VEHICLE FOR ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS
Shilpi Rathore, Mrs. Sunita Patidar, Mrs. Apurva Pagare, Dr. Pawan Kumar Dubey
ABSTRACT
For local dermatological activity, topical drug administration is usually preferred. Preparations' topical activity is limited by drug solubility, residence time, lipophilicity, and permeability. Creams, ointments, and other traditional dosage forms have limitations such as poor stability, stickiness, absorption, and penetration, particularly in the case of big molecules. To address this, the development of emulgels, which primarily focus on the delivery of hydrophobic medicines, occurred. Thus, the current review focuses on microemulgel features, preparation, benefits, and antibacterial mode of action, as well as applications.
