“…As a result, to alleviate this constraint, an emulsion-based method is taken. As a result, the drug's hydrophobic moiety should be integrated and delivered via gels 7 . Hydrophobic drugs can be incorporated into emulgel's using drug/oil/water emulsions.…”

“…For, hydrophobic or weakly water-soluble medications, the emulsified gel offers a stable and appropriate carrier. In a nutshell, emulgels are a hybrid of an emulsion and a gel 6,7 . The use of novel polymers that can act as wetting agents and thickeners has gotten a lot of interest in recent years since their gelling ability enables for the formation of strong emulsifiers and gels by reducing interfacial and external stress while boosting liquid fluidity.…”

Emulgels are a new drug delivery technology for hydrophobic drugs that have received popularity in recent years. This formulation is a blend of emulsion and gel, and it is an innovative type of drug delivery mechanism. The goal of this review is to gain insight into emulgel preparation and evaluation to determine how essential these dosage forms are. It will be widely utilized in the future since it is simple to use and improves patient compliance. Emulgels are readily removed, spreadable, thixotropic, greaseless, pleasant, emollient, have a long shelf life, and are clear. Gels have several advantages, but their delivery of hydrophobic agents is one of them. To solve this constraint, an emulsion-based technique is being developed. Emulgel is a unique topical medication delivery technology since it has both a gel and an emulsion release control system. When emulsions are mixed with gel as a form of administration, an emulgel with the dual release is created. Polymers with better release patterns have emerged as a consequence of this method, allowing for a controlled and extended-release.
