Transdermal Drug Delivery: Concepts and Application provides  comprehensive background knowledge and documents the most recent  advances made in the field of transdermal drug delivery. It provides  comprehensive and updated information regarding most technologies and  formulation strategies used for transdermal drug delivery. There has  been recent growth in the number of research articles, reviews, and  other types of publications in the field of transdermal drug delivery.  Research in this area is active both in the academic and industry  settings. Ironically, only about 40 transdermal products with distinct  active pharmaceutical ingredients are in the market indicating that more  needs to be done to chronicle recent advances made in this area and to  elucidate the mechanisms involved. This book will be helpful to  researchers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries as  well as academics and graduate students working in the field of  transdermal drug delivery and professionals working in the field of  regulatory affairs focusing on topical and transdermal drug delivery  systems. Researchers in the cosmetic and cosmeceutical industries, as  well as those in chemical and biological engineering, will also find  this book useful.
