With personalized pharmacotherapy on the rise, innovations in drug delivery systems are taking place at an exponential rate. Now, more than ever before, patients are seeking customized pharmaceutical dosages that are better tailored to their individual needs. Given the prevailing limitations and side effects associated with conventional oral routes of administration (e.g., difficulty swallowing, distaste for certain flavors, gastrointestinal irritations, and metabolic constraints among others), transdermal modes of delivery are gaining increasing recognition.

In this webinar, participants will learn about the benefits of transdermal delivery and the opportunity for transdermal compounding within niche therapeutic areas (i.e., hormone replacement therapy, pain management, and veterinary care). Participants will also gain an appropriate understanding of the challenges associated with the delivery of drugs across the epidermal layers (i.e., bioavailability and skin permeation), and how to circumvent these challenges with innovations in pharmaceutical technology and formulation chemistry.
