Abstract:
Emulgels have emerged as a promising topical drug delivery system for the delivery of hydrophobic drug via skin. The objective of the study was to prepare eucalyptus emulgel. When we are preparing a emulsion individually shows stability problems during manufacturing and storage that effects on drug release pattern. In order to increase the drug stability, we incorporate it as emulgel. Emulgel is a thermodynamically stable formulation with low interfacial tension that is made by combining a surfactant and a co-surfactant and has several properties such as increased permeability and good thermodynamic stability. Emulgel has a dual control and a sustained release pattern. Emulgel improves bioavailability as well as patient compliance. This emulgel prepared as an analgesic, which satisfies all the testing parameters. The emulgel was produced in various batches of which F3 if found to be effective one.
