Obtaining of transdermal patches by means of natural active principles

Abstract

In the present paper the contributions are directed to obtaining transdermal therapeutic patches provided with a functional cotton textile support (acting as a reservoir) which would result in the controlled release of certain natural active principles (propolis and menthol), with .pharmaceutical action on people and children in order to support the treating and preventing of some irritations, wounds, injuries, scratches as well as certain allergic skin conditions in a natural, efficient and comfortable manner which would avoid the classic administration . In order to prove and characterize the inclusion of the active principles (propolis and menthol) into the cavity of the reactive cyclodextrin product grafted on the surface of the biofunctional textile support the following analytical methods were applied: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTG).
