GLP-1 RAs stimulate pancreatic receptors, improving glycemia by boosting insulin secretion while decreasing glucagon secretion. GLP-1 receptors are present in pancreatic tissue. They are also found in extra-pancreatic tissue and have been shown to reduce body weight while also protecting the heart and endothelial cells. The most prevalent types of GLP-1 RAs can be injected twice daily (exenatide), once daily (lixisenatide and liraglutide), or once weekly (albiglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide once, semaglutide, tirzepatide). GLP-1 receptor agonists also reduce gastric emptying, preventing substantial post-meal glycaemic increases.

However, challenges such as poor drug solubility, low skin permeability, and instability of conventional formulations limit their effectiveness. To address these limitations, microemulsion-loaded hydrogels have gained significant attention as an advanced and efficient drug delivery system for topical applications. Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, clear, isotropic mixtures of oil, water, surfactant, and co-surfactant that offer improved drug solubilization and skin penetration. When incorporated into hydrogels, they combine the penetration-enhancing properties of microemulsions with the viscosity and spreadability of hydrogels, resulting in a stable, non-greasy, and easily applicable formulation. This review highlights the fundamental characteristics of microemulsion-based hydrogels, including their composition and advantages over conventional topical systems. The synergistic effect of microemulsions and hydrogels enhances the drug loading capacity, prolongs drug release, and improves bioavailability, especially for hydrophobic and poorly permeable drugs. Furthermore, these systems minimize systemic side effects and improve patient adherence due to their non-invasive nature and ease of application. The review also discusses various examples of drugs successfully delivered through this platform, including antifungals, anti-inflammatories, and analgesics. Overall, microemulsion-loaded hydrogels represent a promising and innovative approach for effective topical drug delivery.
