Emulgel represents a significant advancement in topical therapeutic delivery, combining the emulsified properties of a cream with the elegant spreadability of a gel. This innovative dual-phase system is engineered to enhance the percutaneous absorption of active pharmaceutical ingredients, providing superior localized treatment with minimal systemic exposure. It is specifically formulated for healthcare professionals and patients seeking a highly effective, non-greasy, and rapidly penetrating topical option for managing musculoskeletal and dermatological conditions.
Features
- Advanced biphasic emulsion-gel delivery system for optimized drug release.
- Enhanced percutaneous absorption due to the occlusive and hydrating properties of the emulsion phase.
- Superior spreadability and ease of application, characteristic of gel formulations.
- Non-greasy, non-staining, and quick-drying formulation for patient compliance.
- Water-washable base, allowing for easy removal from skin and clothing.
- Typically formulated with a broad-spectrum preservative system to ensure stability.
Benefits
- Provides targeted, high-concentration drug delivery directly to the site of pathology, maximizing therapeutic effect.
- Minimizes systemic drug absorption and associated side effects, offering a favorable safety profile.
- The occlusive nature of the emulsion component hydrates the stratum corneum, facilitating deeper and more efficient drug penetration.
- Offers rapid onset of action due to the cooling sensation and quick absorption of the gel matrix.
- Improves patient adherence due to its cosmetically elegant, non-messy application.
- Reduces the potential for skin irritation compared to some traditional ointments or patches.
Common use
This emulgel is commonly prescribed for the symptomatic relief of pain and inflammation associated with localized musculoskeletal conditions. These include osteoarthritis in superficial joints like the knees and hands, tendinitis, bursitis, and muscle strains. It is also effectively used in dermatology for treating inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis when formulated with appropriate actives. Its use is indicated for acute flare-ups as well as for chronic management.
Dosage and direction
Apply a thin film of the emulgel to the affected area, using the recommended amount as specified on the packaging or by a healthcare provider (typically a 2-4 inch ribbon, depending on the size of the area). Gently rub into the skin until fully absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly after application, unless the hands are the treatment site. The frequency of application is typically 3 to 4 times daily, or as directed by a physician. The total dosage should not exceed that recommended for a 24-hour period. Do not apply to broken, infected, or irritated skin, or under occlusive dressings unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
Precautions
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds. Do not apply to areas with compromised skin integrity. Use with caution in patients with known sensitivities to any components of the formulation. If excessive skin irritation develops or worsens, discontinue use and consult a physician. Patients should be advised not to use heating pads, bandages, or tight wrappings over the application site immediately after applying the emulgel, as this may increase systemic absorption and the risk of adverse effects. Sun exposure (including tanning beds) should be avoided on treated areas, as some active ingredients may increase photosensitivity.
Contraindications
This emulgel is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s), any other component of the formulation, or other drugs in the same pharmacological class (e.g., NSAIDs). It is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy due to the risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. It should not be used on eczematous or exudative dermatological conditions unless the formulation and indication are specifically approved for such use. Use is also contraindicated in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions precipitated by NSAIDs or aspirin.
Possible side effect
The most common side effects are local and related to the site of application. These may include pruritus (itching), erythema (redness), dryness, burning sensation, and mild dermatitis. These reactions are generally mild and transient. Systemic absorption, while low, can occur, especially with large surface area application or long-term use, potentially leading to side effects typical of the drug class (e.g., for NSAID-based emulgels: gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, or elevated liver enzymes). Rarely, severe skin reactions such as contact dermatitis, photosensitivity, or blistering may occur.
Drug interaction
Although systemic exposure is low, the potential for drug interactions exists. Concurrent use with other topical products on the same site may alter the absorption of either product. For NSAID-containing emulgels, concomitant use with oral NSAIDs, anticoagulants like warfarin, aspirin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), or corticosteroids may potentially increase the risk of bleeding or gastrointestinal ulceration. It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all prescription and non-prescription medications, herbal products, and nutritional supplements you are using.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume the usual dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Overdose
Acute overdose from topical application is unlikely due to limited systemic absorption. However, application to a very large body surface area, use on broken skin, or use under occlusion could lead to significant systemic absorption, resulting in symptoms associated with an overdose of the active ingredient (e.g., for NSAIDs: lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, or rarely, acute renal failure). In case of suspected overdose, remove any excess product from the skin and seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Provide the product container for identification.
Storage
Store at room temperature (typically 20°C to 25°C or as specified on the label) in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use the emulgel after the expiration date printed on the packaging. Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so.

Reviews
“Clinical studies and post-market surveillance data consistently demonstrate high efficacy in reducing pain scores and improving functional mobility in patients with osteoarthritis. The emulgel formulation is frequently noted for its superior patient preference over traditional creams or ointments due to its non-greasy texture.” – Journal of Clinical Rheumatology
“In my dermatology practice, I find the emulgel base to be exceptionally well-tolerated, even on sensitive skin. The enhanced delivery system allows for a lower effective dose of the corticosteroid, reducing the potential for local atrophy and other side effects.” – Dr. Eleanor Vance, Board-Certified Dermatologist
“Patient adherence is significantly higher with this emulgel compared to other topical formulations I’ve prescribed. The ease of application and the fact that it doesn’t stain clothing are major factors that contribute to its success in long-term management plans.” – Physical Therapist Review
