To address the challenges associated with drug delivery, particularly oral routes, transdermal drug delivery systems were introduced. Transdermal patches are medicinal adhesive patches that are put to the skin to deliver a predetermined dosage via the skin and into the circulatory system. It encourages the body's wounded areas to mend. Transdermal drug delivery systems have beneficial action over other forms of administration, like oral, intravenous, topical i.m, and others. in that, the patient can administer medication in a controlled manner through the patch. Typically, it's accomplished by either melting thin layers of medicine incorporated in the adhesive with body heat or by covering a reservoir of medication with a porous membrane. So, this review has been focused on the challenges associated with transdermal drug delivery system & and their specifications with brief insights into transdermal patches to deliver the drug at their targeted site.
