ABSTRACT

Transdermal drug delivery is different from conventional topical drug delivery in that it involves delivering a drug via the skin to produce a systemic impact. The term "transdermal drug delivery system" (TDDS) refers to a method for administering medications through the skin. Skin serves as the drug's effective delivery route for absorption and circulation. Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS), commonly referred to as "patches," are medication delivery devices created to spread a therapeutically effective dose of medication across a patient's skin. The full morphological, biophysical, and physicochemical characteristics of human skin must be taken into account when administering medicinal drugs for systemic effects. Transdermal delivery not only allows for continuous infusion of medications with brief biological half-lives but also avoids pulsed entrance into the systemic circulation, which frequently results in unfavorable side effects. Convectional dose forms were used previously, however a new medication delivery mechanism is being used. Transdermal patches are one of the most significant innovative medication delivery innovations.
