Abstract
For local dermatological activity, topical drug administration is usually preferable. Drug solubility, residence duration, lipophilicity, and permeability are all factors that restrict the effectiveness of topical medications. Creams, ointments, and other traditional dosage forms have problems such as lack of stability, stickiness, poor absorption, and penetration, especially when dealing with giant molecules. To combat this, microemulsion was created, which is a drug delivery system that focuses on hydrophobic medicines. This study aims to make an herbal microemulsion and test it for improved solubility, permeability, and superior anti-inflammatory activity. Herbal Microemulsion made from linseed oil, Tween 20, and Span 20 can be a topical anti-inflammatory medication.
