TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Transdermal therapeutic systems have been designed to provide controlled continuous delivery of drugs via the skin to the systemic circulation. The relative impermeability of skin is well known, and this is associated with its functions as a dual protective barrier against invasion by microorganism and the prevention of the loss of physiologically essential substances such as water. Elucidation of factors that contribute to this impermeability has made the use of skin as a route for controlled systemic drug delivery possible. The market for Transdermal devices is currently estimated at US$ 1.2 billion, approximately 10% of the entire US $ 28 billion drug delivery market. In addition, Transdermal drug delivery market is currently based on only 10 drugs. Hence, Pharmaceutical scientists are striving to add new deliverables to the short list of approved Transdermal products.
