The result of solubility studies of EFZ in various excipients utilized for construction of the pseudo ternary phase diagram containing surfactant mixtures. Surfactants in 1:1 combination are used with different co-surfactants in different ratio to delineate the area of monophasic region of the pseudo ternary phase diagram.

A microemulsion (ME) based hydrogel had studied as a topical delivery of sertaconazole (STZL) for effective eradication of cutaneous fungal infection. The existence of microemulsion region was investigated in pseudo-ternary phase diagrams and various ME formulations were prepared using oleic acid, Tween 80, propylene glycol and water. Hydrogel of STZL microemulsions (HSM) were prepared in Carbopol 940 (0.
