ABSTRACT

Lipid dosage forms offer a more palatable method for distributing hydrophobic pharmaceutical compounds. Emulsions are biphasic when it comes to liquid dosage types. Oil in water and water in oil are the two types of this customary method. Emulsion is one of the most commonly utilised systems and has been for many years. The two dosage forms employed nowadays are microemulsions and nano emulsions. This article aims to summarise the contrasting aspects of emulsion, micro-emulsion, and nano-emulsion, including definition, theories, types, preparation methods, advantages and disadvantages, as well as analytical methods. Emulsion provides better responsiveness and bioavailability. Emulsions have a wider range of medicinal applications now that micro- and nanoemulsions have been developed. As a result of their superior efficacy to conventional dosage forms, modern drug delivery techniques are frequently used.
