Microemulsion: A review

Abstract

Microemulsions  are one of the most important  novel drug delivery systems  because  of their long shelf life, improved drug solubilization with ease of preparation and administration. This emulsion is thermodynamically stable  and  optically  isotropic  liquid  solutions  of  oil,  water,  and  amphiphile.  Microemulsions  well  as  novel vehicles  for  drug  delivery  that allow  controlled  or  sustained  release  for  ocular,  percutaneous,  topical, transdermal,  and parenteral  administration  of medicaments.  Distinguish  is  very easy from microemulsion  to normal emulsions by their low viscosity, transparency, and more accurately their thermodynamic stability. It Application has a great range and uses such as in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cutting oils, biotechnology, food, cosmetics, analytical applications, environmental detoxification, etc. The purpose of this review paper is to discuss microemulsions as drug carrier systems with other possible applications.
