USPTO Abstract
Modified release oil in water emulsions that delivers drugs to a target tissue. The emulsions according to the present invention contain the lipophilic active ingredient completely dissolved into the hydrophobic internal phase stabilised by a polymeric surfactant. The presence of this polymer around the hydrophobic droplets avoids the migration of the active ingredient into the external hydrophilic phase and, consequently, its re-crystallization.
