Drug delivery systems using nanoemulsions have been developed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional drug administration methods. An excellent summary of the most current developments in the nano-emulsion medication delivery method was given in this article. These submicron emulsions, which are nanoscale, were created to improve the circulation of active medicinal substances to the intended location. An effective material, such as emulsifying agents, is used to stabilize nano emulsions, which are homogenous mixtures of lipid and aqueous phase. The range of the droplet size has been 50–500 nm. The typical technique distinguishes between emulsion, micro-emulsion, and nano-emulsion based on the size and form of the material disseminated throughout. Nanoemulsion improves the pharmacological action of medications and provides a new dose form for those with lower water solubility. Future applications of nano-emulsion include biotechnology, drug therapy, diagnostic testing, and cosmetics. A brief overview of nanoemulsion, its benefits, drawbacks, limitations, types, formulation components, surface active agents (surfactants), preparation techniques, and characterization techniques are all part of this analysis, which pays close attention to the various pharmaceutical uses of nanoemulsion in various fields, including targeted drug delivery, mucosal vaccination, transdermal drug delivery systems, and cancer and tumor therapy.
