Nanoemulsion as Pharmaceutical Carrier for Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery

Vinay Kumar, Ankita Vishwakarma, Prerna Gupta

Abstract: The use of nanoemulsion for topical and transdermal delivery systems is now well proven to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of drugs. Current research is focused on the design of nanoemulsion-based semisolid dosage formulations and describes the advancements made in the delivery of therapeutics using nanoemulsion, with a focus on topical and transdermal administration. Finally, this review discusses the fundamental concepts and issues of nanoemulsion manufacturing, the use of nanoemulsion-based semisolid dosage forms in medicine, and basic considerations during nanoemulsion absorption into and through the skin.
