FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF EMULGEL OF EUCALYPTUS AND ALOE VERA FOR TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATION AND MICROBIAL INFECTION.

There is a growing demand for new topical formulations due to the rising number of cases of inflammation and microbial infections. This study developed an emulgel that combines the therapeutic qualities of eucalyptus oil with aloe vera extract. The emulgel was then tested to see how effective it is at treating inflammation and infections caused by microbes. The emulgel was described based on its physicochemical parameters, which included pH, viscosity, spreadability, and drug release profile. The agar diffusion method was used to test the antibacterial activity, and a rat model of paw edema was used to assess the antiinflammatory effects. The emulgel was shown to have considerable antibacterial and antiinflammatory benefits, according to the results. This suggests that it could be a useful treatment for skin conditions that are caused by inflammation and microbial infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
