Paul Ehrlich in 1902 proposed targeted drug delivery similar to a "magic bullet". An ideal drug delivery system maximizes therapeutic effects while minimizing toxicity. Novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) have evolved from simple mixtures and pills to more sophisticated systems. Nanoemulsions are dispersions of at least two immiscible fluids as droplets smaller than 1 micrometer. They are stable alternatives to liposomes for drug delivery through various routes of administration such as oral, topical, nasal and ocular delivery. While nanoemulsions increase bioavailability and target delivery, their manufacturing is expensive and stability can be an issue.
