Emulsions are liquid oral dosage forms where one liquid is dispersed in another immiscible liquid in the form of small droplets. They are commonly used to deliver drugs that are poorly soluble in water or to improve the taste and palatability of oily drugs. Proper formulation and manufacturing of emulsions …
Emulsions Stability problems and methods to overcome
Emulsions can face stability challenges over time due to coalescence, creaming, flocculation, and phase separation. Several methods can be employed to overcome stability problems and enhance the shelf life of emulsions: 1. Selection of Suitable Emulsifying Agents Use emulsifiers or surfactants that are appropriate for the specific type of emulsion …
Emulsions – Definition, Classification
Emulsions are colloidal dispersions of two immiscible liquids, typically oil and water, stabilized by an emulsifying agent. In an emulsion, small droplets of one liquid are dispersed throughout the other liquid. The emulsifying agent helps to prevent the droplets from coalescing and separating. Various forms of emulsions exist, including oil-in-water …
