Transdermal Drug Delivery
نویسنده
چکیده
Overview For thousands of years, human civilizations have applied substances to the skin as cosmetic and medicinal agents.(Prausnitz 2008) However, it was not until the twentieth century that the skin came to be used as a drug delivery route. In fact, Merriam Webster dates the word “transdermal” to 1944(Merriam-Webster 2011) highlighting that it is a relatively recent concept in medical and pharmaceutical practice. While there are many advantages to transdermal drug delivery, there are also disadvantages and both must be considered. (Rios 2007)(Gordon 2005)

A Review on Current Status and Future Potential of Transdermal Patches as a Promising Drug Delivery System
Transdermal patches are now widely used in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS). Up to now, TDDS has been used in several conditions, such as smoking cessation, analgesic effect, nausea, contraception, and hormone therapy. Basically, there are two types of transdermal patches: the reservoir-type patches and the matrix-type patches. First generation TDDS were designed for deliver...
متن کاملElectrospun polymeric nanofibers for transdermal drug delivery
Conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. These systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. Applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of Chemical Enhancer And Iontophoresis For Transdermal Delivery Of Nebivolol Hydrochloride
The aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering Nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. The passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of Nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. Because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is a non-invasive, topical administration method for therapeutic agents. Transdermal delivery also has advantages including providing release for long periods of time, improving patient compliance, and generally being inexpensive. Despite these advantages, the use of TDD has been limited by innate barrier functions of the skin. Only small (<500 Da), lipophilic mo...
متن کاملEnhanced Controlled Transdermal Delivery of Mexazolam Using Ethylene-vinyl Acetate
Repeated oral administration of mexazolam, an anti-anxiety agent, may cause adverse effects such as gastric disturbance, drowsiness, and ataxia due to transiently high blood levels. Transdermal administration would avoid the systemic side effects and gastric disorders after oral administration. We have developed a matrix using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a heat-processible and flexible mat...
