Advantages of Emulsion

❖ Poorly water-soluble drugs easily incorporated with improved dissolution rate and bioavailability ❖ Unpleasant taste or odor of oils masked partially or wholly, by emulsification ❖ Absorption rate and permeation of medicaments can be controlled ❖ Absorption may be enhanced by the diminished size of the internal phase ❖ Formulation and technology for organ targeted delivery is available. ❖ Various particle sizes of the internal phase can be achieved by preparation technique, from microemulsions to nanoparticles ❖ Water is an expensive diluent and a good solvent for the many drugs and flavors that are incorporated into an emulsion
