  • Are film forming systems a promising choice for topical and transdermal drug delivery?
  • The transparency is an appreciable feature of this polymeric system which greatly influences the patient acceptance. In the current discussion, the film forming systems are described as a promising choice for topical and transdermal drug delivery.
  • Are plasticizers used in transdermal drug delivery systems?
  • In transdermal therapeutic systems. It is observed that the plasticizers added to transdermal therapeutic systems are mostly used in the proportions between 5-20%. Following are the reasons which can be counted among those for adding plasticizers to the polymer films to be used in transdermal drug delivery systems:
  • What is a topical film forming system?
  • Topical film forming systems are such developing drug delivery systems meant for topical application to the skin, which adhere to the body, forming a thin transparent film and provide delivery of the active ingredients to the body tissue.
  • What is a polymeric film?
  • Polymeric films, polymeric membranes, thin films, and polymeric adhesives are some of the same names for a drug delivery system capable of being placed on target tissue and having its effect. They are films made of polymers that can adhere to skin [ 1] and mucosal tissues, including ophthalmic [ 2 ], vaginal [ 3 ], and oral [ 4] cavities.
  • What are the benefits of topical polymeric films & transdermal patches?
  • Due to their benefits such as physical barrier formation, ease of application, and reduced dosing frequency, topical polymeric films and transdermal patches are often associated with improved patient compliance.
  • What is a plasticizer used for?
  • Ethanol, isopropanol and butanol serve as solvents in these compositions. Plasticizers, such as glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, can be added to improve the produced films [ 10 ]. One advantage of the formed film is its resistance to wiping off and mechanical removal.
