A Comprehensive Review on: Transdermal drug delivery systems
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Transdermal drug delivery system was introduced to overcome the difficulties of drug delivery through oral route. Despite their relatively higher costs, transdermal delivery systems have proved advantageous for delivery of selected drugs, such as estrogens, testosterone, clonidine and nitro-glycerine. Transdermal delivery provides a leading edge over injectable and oral routes by increasing patient compliance and avoiding first pass metabolism respectively. Topical administration of therapeutic agents offers many advantages over conventional oral and invasive methods of drug delivery. Skin is an effective medium from which absorption of the drug takes place and enters into systematic circulation over a period of time. The present article reviews the selection of drug candidates and polymers suitable to be formulated as transdermal system, advantages, disadvantages of formulation design and the methods of evaluation.
