5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a BCS class III drug, has low oral bioavailability and is cytotoxic in nature causing severe systemic side effects when administered through the intravenous route. Topical drug delivery could potentially mitigate side-effects. Microemulsions (MEs) would be an apt solution due to enhanced partitioning of skin. However, conventional methods for preparing MEs are inefficient since they not continuous very tedious time-consuming processes hence revealing need development...
