Abstract:

Transdermal drug delivery refers to a system in which a fixed amount of drug is delivered across the skin over a period of time to the bloodstream so as to maintain a therapeutic level of that drug. This method of drug delivery is painless and has excellent compliance in both pediatric and geriatric age group as it is pain-free and hassle free and does not need any specialized equipment for its use. Transdermal method of drug delivery has a great many advantages over other conventional routes of drug administration such as oral, intramuscular, intravenous. Medication applied in form of a fixed-dose adhesive patch that is applied to the skin surface and is absorbed through the pores of the skin and delivered in the bloodstream in a controlled way. The main objective of this painless route of administering a drug is to provide a therapeutic dose level of drug in the bloodstream with the minimal patient to patient variation while limiting the side effects if the same were to be administered by any other route.
