Emulsions: dispersed system containing at least two immiscible liquid phases.
Dispersed phases are composed of small globules of liquid distributed
throughout a vehicle in which it is immiscible.
 According to phases emulsions can be classified into:

1. Oil in water (O/W) emulsions, which have an oleaginous internal phase & an
   aqueous external phase.


2. Water in oil (W/O) emulsions, which have an aqueous internal phase & an
   oleaginous external phase


3. Multiple emulsion (W/O/W) and (O/W/O).
    H.W// There three factors determined the type of emulsion??
    Emulsifying agent is important in stabilization of emulsion through:


4. Decrease the interfacial tension between two phases.


5. Increase the viscosity of the medium.


6. Formation of electrical potential at the droplet surface to ensure repulsion
   between approaching droplets.


7. Formation of coherent film or thin layer around the dispersed globules that
   prevent coalescence and separation of dispersed liquid.
    Notes:
    Depending on their constituents, the viscosity can vary greatly and
   pharmaceutical emulsions can be prepared as liquid or semisolids.
    Liquid emulsions may be used orally, topically or parenterally.
    Semisolid emulsions employed topically.
    Classification of emulsion according to their uses :


8. Internal emulsions: intended for oral & parental administration & it usually
   o/w type e.g. vitamins, sex hormones castor oil emulsions.


9. External emulsions: applied on skin & mucous membranes as lotion, cream,
   cosmetics, it usually w/o or o/w type according to area & lesion type.
    Advantages of emulsions:


10. Increase patient acceptance by masking the disagreeable taste.


11. Increase absorption of some drug.


12. Some drug is unstable in other forms.


13. To give delayed release drug in multiple emulsions.
