Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) are anhydrous solutions of the drug in oil containing surfactant and cosurfactant, which spontaneously emulsify when added to an excess of water.

Self-Emulsifying Systems Emulsion systems have the disadvantage of being physically unstable, and over time a separation between the oil and water phases of the emulsion will occur. The use of conventional emulsions is also less attractive due to poor precision of the taken dose and the relatively large volume that has to be administered. To overcome these limitations, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) have been developed. The... 

Currently, most mature dissolution controlled release systems/ technologies are applicable for water-soluble and low-water-solubility compounds (with low doses). For very poorly water-soluble compounds, dissolution controlled release systems/technologies may not be applicable because these compounds have intrinsically slow dissolution/release rates. Recently, several new technologies such as solid dispersions and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) have been developed to deliver poorly water-soluble compounds at reasonable doses through enhancement of dissolution rate. These technologies have created new potentials for controlled release of poorly water-soluble compounds, often...

There are many different polyglycolyzed glycerides and they are generally used to formulate water-insoluble drugs in lipid based formulations such as self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) in order to improve oral... 

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable isotropically clear dispersions composed of a polar solvent, oil, and a surfactant(s). Labrafil and Gelucire 44/14 are all-in-one self-emulsifying surfactants which are in many oral products throughout the world. Microemulsions have much potential for drug-delivery since very hydrophobic molecules can be solubilized and formulated for oral administration (Tenjarla, 1999). All of the commercial products are actually nonaqueous microemulsions, also known as microemulsion preconcentrates or self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS), since the polar solvent is not water. Upon contact with aqueous media, such as gastrointestinal fluids, a SEDDS formulation spontaneously forms a fine dispersion or aqueous microemulsion.
