Transdermal Drug Delivery System A Review

Although transdermal drug administration has made a significant contribution to medical practise, it has yet to realise its full potential as an alternative to oral drug delivery and hypodermic injections. The patch can essentially provide a controlled release of the medication into the patient, usually through either a porous membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive, which is an advantage of transdermal drug delivery over other types of delivery systems such as oral, topical, intravenous, intramuscular, and so on. The clinical usage of first generation transdermal delivery systems for the delivery of tiny, lipophilic, low dose medicines has increased steadily. Chemical enhancers, non cavitational ultrasound, and iontophoresis have all been used in second generation delivery methods.
