Transdermal drug delivery is an effective way for the control and localised release of drugs. This method is a new way for giving medicines and present advantages when is compared with conventional administration routes. Moreover, these new dermatologic gels are high add-value products due to their special properties as medicine.
For example, naproxen is one of the most common used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that is used for the treatment of inflamed skin tissues or pain in bones, ligaments or tendons. But the ingestion of naproxen present secondary effects as gastric damage that can be minimised with the topic application over a localised zone.
For that reason, one of INAM’s lines focus on industry transference is oriented to get hydrogels that allow the transdermal drugs delivery.
