The main objective of this paper was to manipulate the Nano Fibrous Scaffold "NFS" surface roughness to achieve a new transdermal drug release profile. To assess the intrinsic mechanical properties of Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam, such as its proper resiliency, it was considered as the matrix. Cetirizine was used as a drug model and was loaded (1% w/v) to polymer solution (30%w/v) before spinning...

background: due to its minimal systematic adverse effects, transdermal estrogen is widely used for the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.the present meta-analysis aimed to clarify the effects of transdermal estrogen on bone mineral density (bmd) of postmenopausal women.methods: studies were identified by searching electronic databases including cochrane library, medline, embase...

the present study was performed to explore the matrix property of ficus glomerata fruit mucilage for making transdermal patches. the mucilage was evaluated for its physicochemical properties. various transdermal patches of indomethacin were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using different proportions of f. glomerata fruit mucilage. the compatibility studies between indomethacin and f. ...

Transdermal delivery is one of the non-invasive methods for drug administration. Patient compliance is improved and continuous, sustained release of drug is achieved by following the application of transdermal formulation on the skin (Guy 1996; Tanner & Marks 2008). Transdermal drug delivery systems, known as patches, are dosage forms designed to deliver a therapeutically effective amount of dr...

Transdermal administration of morphine and fentanyl using a pluronic lecithin organogel was evaluated in dogs. IV administration of morphine and fentanyl resulted in therapeutic serum drug concentrations. Following transdermal administration, however, median serum drug concentrations were never above the limit of quantitation for morphine or fentanyl. These findings indicate that use ofa pluron...
