Abstract :

Transdermal drug delivery devices (TDDS), often known as "patches," are dosage forms designed to transfer a therapeutically effective amount of medicine over a patient's skin. Transdermal distribution establishes one of the most important channels for a revolutionary medication delivery method. Transdermal drug delivery has various advantages over traditional delivery methods, such as oral and injection; however, its efficacy is restricted. Transdermal administration traditionally entails pushing a patch containing a medicinal substance onto the skin, which is both convenient and painless, as well as therapeutic first-pass metabolism. It can deliver medications through the skin portal to systemic circulation at a predefined rate while maintaining therapeutically efficacious concentrations for an extended period of time. Around 74% of medications are taken orally, and one has been discovered to be less effective than expected.In this present review article, it covers a brief outline of various recent approaches in their development for transdermal patches.
