DEFINITION
Agitation
Oil
Water
Water
OR
Emulsion, is a mixture of two or more liquids in
which one is present as droplets, of microscopic or
ultramicroscopic size, distributed throughout the
other.
TYPES OF EMULSIONS
Based on dispersed phase:
0.2 50 mm Macroemulsions
ADVANTAGES OF EMULSIONS:
Oil-soluble drugs can be given parentrally in form of oilin water emulsion. (e.g Taxol).
Nutritional supplement.
Inert and chemically non-reactive.
Reasonably odorless and cost Effective.
