Abstract: 
Emulgel is used to treat injuries and diseases such as arthritis, headaches, muscle aches, backaches, and those brought on by colds. Patient compliance with topical formulations is crucial in the treatment of chronic dermatosis such psoriasis, acne, and fungal infections. Emulgel, a more recent NDDS technology used topically, combines the characteristics of an emulsion with a gel to provide a dual control release. Emulgels have emerged as one of the most exciting topical delivery methods because of their dual release control mechanism, which combines a gel with an emulsion. Gels have many benefits, but one significant drawback is that hydrophobic medication delivery is hampered. An emulsion-based approach is being developed to circumvent this limitation and enable even a hydrophobic medicinal component to take use of the unique properties of gels. Emulgel is the name given to the dosage form created by combining gel with emulsion. Emulgels can be added to analgesics and antifungal medications. In several aspects, these emulgels are superior to both cutting-edge vesicular systems and traditional systems.
