Emulgel: Technology and Recent Developments | Characterization and Ex-Vivo, In-Vivo considerations. DE

Topical products are being used for treating skin ailments and pain /inflammation related disease from primeval times. Apart from conventional topical dosage forms, formulation scientist are exploring new modifications in the existing dosage forms to overcome associated disadvantages for improvement in drug delivery thereby enhanced pharmacodynamic activity of poorly absorbed drugs from the skin.

Emulgels have shown significant advantages over conventional dosage forms from the treatment of skin-related diseases by their unique abilities for encapsulation of drugs and penetration into the skin. The quest of this book is to discuss in detail about the technology, manufacturing techniques, recent researches, patents, marketed formulations and advances of ex-vivo and in-vivo approaches that can be utilized for the determining performance of Emulgels and future application.
