Topical dermal and transdermal drug delivery systems
Drug products topically administered via the skin fall into two general categories, those applied for local action and those for systemic effects. Local actions include those that exert their actions on the function of the epidermis and/or the dermis. The use of topical medications does not result in significant drug concentrations in the blood and other tissues, and causes fewer...Continue reading
