An Overview: Transdermal Drug Delivery System (TDDS)

Abstract

Transdermal drugs have made an important contribution to pharmaceutical dosage forms, nevertheless have yet to fully accomplish its potential as an alternative to oral dosage form and hypodermic injections. A transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) represents the most attractive method among these because of its low rejection rate, excellent ease of administration, and superb convenience and persistence among patients. A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream.Transdermal drug delivery offers controlled release of the drug into the patient, it enables a steady blood level profile, resulting in reduced systemic side effects and, sometimes, improved efficacy over other dosage forms. The main objective of this work is to be study on transdermal drug delivery system is to preparation and composition, evaluation, transdermal drugs and its types.
