Oil-in-water emulsion formulations are useful for the parenteral administration of drugs
which have significant delivery problems. Drugs may be incorporated into emulsion …

For particle sizes above 1 p the mixture may be considered a coarse dispersion, whereas
below 1-10p the mixture is in the region of molecular dispersions, vb., true solutions. In …

Emulsions are heterogeneous systems in which one immiscible liquid is dispersed as
droplets in another liquid. Lipid emulsions were developed after World War II to serve as an …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the multiple emulsions as targetable delivery
systems. The stability of a resultant multiple emulsions will depend not only on formulation …

This chapter focuses on the usefulness of emulsion systems for the delivery of water-
insoluble compounds for parenteral administration. Emulsions for parenteral use should …

A method has been developed to produce lipid emulsion particles for parenteral use as drug
carriers. The technique uses a mixture of a triacylglycerol oil and purified egg yolk …

A large literature has accumulated on the theoretical and practical aspects of emulsions.
However, of the many emulsion systems studied, little attention has been paid to multiple …

This review presents the current status of drug delivery systems based on parenteral
emulsions. When the carrier system contains emulsified lipids, typical production steps may …

Pharmaceutical applications of emulsions are reviewed with special emphasis on the main
reasons these vehicles are used and on their limitations. The development of current …

Colloidal carriers used for the delivery of drugs take a variety of forms to include those that
are solid-like in nature, such as microspheres and nanoparticles, and liquids in the form of …
