TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
*Ravikant Gupta
ABSTRACT
Among the various drug delivery system transdermal patches hold significant position because of their many advantages over conventional drug delivery systems like biocompatibility, biodegradability, long circulating half life and versatility of carrying different drugs with better entrapment efficiencies. The release profile can be adjusted according to the pharmacokinetics of chosen drug; more over site target concentration of specific drug is also achievable. In this brief review on transdermal patches their method of preparation, characterization delivery prospects, application in therapeutics and future horizons will be discussed.
Keywords: biocompatibility, biodegradability, half life.
