Abstract

A non-invasive method of administering drugs through the skin's surface, transdermal delivery allows for the drug to be delivered across the dermis at a predefined rate, either locally or systemically. It might be used in place of hypodermic injections and the oral medication delivery system. Despite being more expensive than traditional formulations, transdermal dosage forms are gaining traction due to their distinct benefits. Transdermal systems have been used to formulate many medications, and more are being tested to see if this is a feasible way to administer them such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, contraceptives, anti-arrhythmic drugs, insulin, antivirals, hormones, alpha-interferon, and cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Additionally, studies on several chemical penetration enhancers that can facilitate the delivery of medicinal compounds are still ongoing. This review article discusses personalized patch designs, transdermal patches' range of therapeutic uses in addition in-vitro and in-vivo studies.
