Abstract

Nanoemulsion drug delivery systems have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential for improving drug solubility, bioavailability, and targeting efficiency. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various techniques employed for the formulation of nanoemulsion drug delivery systems. It covers the principles, advantages, and challenges associated with each technique, along with recent advancements in the field. Understanding the formulation techniques for nanoemulsion drug delivery systems can aid in the development of effective and efficient drug delivery strategies. Nanoemulsion drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of poorly soluble drugs. These systems consist of nanosized droplets of oil dispersed in an aqueous medium stabilized by surfactants or co-surfactants. The small droplet size and large interfacial area of nanoemulsions contribute to their improved drug solubility, stability, and absorption. This review explores the various techniques used to formulate nanoemulsion drug delivery systems.
