Emulgels are multifunctional pharmaceutical formulations that combine the benefits of emulsions with gels, providing improved stability and extended drug release. The objective of this study was to create an emulgel formulation that is appropriate for delivering active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through topical application. The emulgel was produced by combining an oil-in-water emulsion with a gel base using appropriate gelling chemicals. An assortment of emulsifiers and gelling agents were assessed in order to get the most favourable stability, spreadability, and rheological characteristics. The emulgel that was created demonstrated exceptional stability, uniformity, and viscosity that is appropriate for use on the skin. The emulgel formulation underwent characterization for pH, viscosity, drug content, spreadability, and in vitro release profile. In addition, stability experiments were performed to evaluate the physical and chemical stability of the formulation under various storage circumstances. Moreover, the emulgel formulation exhibited prolonged release of the included active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), indicating its potential as a suitable option for delivering hydrophobic medicines by topical application. In summary, this study emphasises the capability of emulgels as efficient methods for delivering drugs through the skin and offers valuable information on how to formulate and analyse them for use in the pharmaceutical industry.
