A Systemic Review on Nanoemulsion based Transdermal Drug Delivery System: A Novel Drug Delivery System

Abstract

The transdermal drug delivery system provides an attractive alternative to traditional methods like oral administration and injections for delivering drugs. However, the stratum corneum acts as a barrier that limits the penetration of substances through the skin. Recently, researchers have suggested and demonstrated that incorporating nanoemulsion into a transdermal patch can significantly enhance skin permeability and improve transdermal delivery. Studies have shown that nanoemulsion is a more effective drug delivery system compared to other incorporated transdermal methods. The effectiveness of the nanoemulsion is influenced by the choice and properties of the surfactant and co-surfactant used. Therefore, this review article examines the ability of nanoemulsion incorporated in transdermal patch for drug delivery system.
