ABSTRACT
Introduction: Microemulsions have attracted the interest of formulation scientists since their
discovery, owing to their superior properties in terms of stability, solubility, simplicity, and
formulation features. Methods: An extensive search was carried out in different databases
viz. Scopus, Embase, Cochrane and PubMed. The keywords used in the search were
microemulsions, formulation of the microemulsion, different types of microemulsions and
advantages of microemulsions. All the studies published in English and studies researched
microemulsion its therapeutic benefits. Results: A microemulsion is a thermodynamically
stable, transparent mixture of two immiscible liquids stabilized by surfactant.
Microemulsions have a number of advantages over conventional formulations, including
increased drug solubility, thermodynamic stability, ease of manufacture, and penetration.
Conclusion: This review aims to talk about how microemulsions are made and how they can
be used in improved drug delivery.
Keywords: Microemulsion, Hydrophobic, Hydrophilic, Phase inversion, Phase titration,
