Abstract
A pharmaceutical vehicle which is a nanoemulsion is formulated using 0.1-10 % (w/v) of an oil; 0.1-10% (w/v) of a non-ionic surface active agent; a maximum of 0.01% (w/v) of benzalkonium chloride; a drug or a precursor or active substance; and optionally, one or more of the following components; isotonizing agents, viscosity modifying agents, stabilizers, buffers and/or antioxidants. The vehicle is prepared by emulsification of an aqueous phase which contains a non-ionic surface active agent with an organic phase containing dissolved therein an oil and the drug, drug precursor or active substance in an organic water miscible solvent and then totally removing by evaporation the organic solvent and part of the water up to the final desired volume. The vehicle is especially useful in ophthalmic preparations used to treat eye disorders and diseases.
