Abstract: Gel is a convenient mean of dosage form that has better efficiency than creams and ointments. Even though it has many advantages it also has major problem such as stability problems, stickiness, irritation, difficult in absorption of large molecules, lack of hydrophobic drugs incorporation, etc. Hence, to overcome this, modern dosage form was introduced known as emulgel. When gel and emulsion get combined it results in the formation of emulgel. The principle goal of this review aims to discuss about the significance & overview of emulgel, its benefits & drawbacks, components & preparations, evaluation and factors affecting it. That provides sufficient knowledge on the topic of emulgel. Emulgel used for the delivery of many pharmacologically active drugs.
