Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems

Completely revised, the Second Edition of Transdermal Drug Delivery presents discussions of the key issues pertinent to transdermal drug delivery. Covering the depth and breadth of the field, from physical chemistry and assessment of drug permeability to available enhancement technologies, to regulatory approval, the book examines topics necessary to the critical evaluation of a drug candidate's potential for delivery across the skin. It describes how to determine the transdermal permeability of drugs, how rationally to select candidates for transdermal delivery, how to choose chemical and/or physical methods to enhance skin transport, and how to solve regulatory issues.
