Unlock the Potential of Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems

Edited by Nayan A. Gujarathi, Juliana Palma Abriata, Anil K. Sharma, and Raj Kumar Keservani, this comprehensive volume explores the advantages and applications of topical and transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDs) in therapeutics.

Advantages of TDDs Over Traditional Methods

TDDs offer several benefits over conventional drug delivery methods, including reduced invasiveness, improved sanitation, cost-effectiveness, and better patient compliance. These benefits make TDDs an attractive option for pharmaceutical scientists and researchers.

Expert Insights and Case Studies

This book presents a collection of case studies, research, and theories from expert formulation scientists, showcasing the diversity of approaches in transdermal and topical drug delivery. It provides valuable insights into the development and application of TDDs, covering the basics of drug delivery systems, strategies to enhance permeation across membranes, and the formulation and evaluation of various dosage forms.

Exploring the Pros and Cons of TDDs

The volume evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of conventional drug delivery systems compared to TDDs, highlighting the nuances of micro- and nano-systems in TDDs. The uses and applications of nano systems, such as vesicular systems, polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsion, and dendrimers, are extensively discussed.

TDDs in Skin Diseases and Lesions

The book delves into the role of TDDs in treating skin diseases and lesions, including psoriasis, vitiligo, cancer, and lesions of aging. It examines the main nanoparticles used in these applications and their potential benefits.

Additional Topics and Applications

Chapters also cover polymeric micelles in topical and transdermal delivery, microneedles, emulsion, nanoemulsion, and microemulsion, as well as the use of TDDs in pulmonary drug delivery systems and nanoencapsulated nasal drug delivery systems. Regulatory aspects of drug development for dermal products are also addressed.

Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems: Applications and Prospects is an indispensable resource for pharmaceutical scientists, researchers, industry professionals, academicians, and students in the pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.
