Mineral Oil
Emulsifying Agent
Acacia
A dispersed system in which the dispersed phase is composed of small globules of liquid distributed throughout the vehicle in which it is immiscible.
Emulsion
Particle Size of Emulsion
0.1 to 100 microns
Purposes of Formulating an Emulsion
• Increased Drug Solubility
• Prolonged Drug Action
• Improved Taste
• Improved Appearance
Two (2) Phases of Emulsion
- Disperse Phase
- Dispersion Medium
It is the undissolve or immiscible drug distributed throughout the liquid vehicle.
Disperse Phase
It is the liquid vehicle, to which the insoluble drug is distributed.
Dispersion Medium
Three (3) Factors that Determine the Emulsion Type
- Emulsifier
- Phase Ratio
- Order or Mixing
Four (4) Types of Emulsion
- Oil-In-Water
- Water-In-Oil
- Microemulsion
- Multiple Emulsions
