Abstract

Transdermal drug delivery provides an effective and advantageous alternative to the oral delivery of therapeutic agents. Currently, many other drugs are being evaluated for transdermal delivery including testosterone, fentanyl, nicotine and timolol. They offer the promise of simplified dosage regimens, enhanced compliance, reduced side effects and improved therapy of disease.
