Transdermal Patch Development

Transdermal patches, also known as transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) or transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS), deliver medications directly into the bloodstream through the skin, achieving therapeutic blood concentrations for systemic treatments. Unlike topical systems that provide local effects, transdermal patches ensure consistent drug release for extended periods, making them one of the leading drug delivery methods after oral and injectable routes. CD Formulation excel in supporting the development of high-quality transdermal patch products to meet your research needs.

About Transdermal Patches

A transdermal patch is an innovative system that administers drugs through the skin by combining active pharmaceutical ingredients with a specialized matrix. Once applied, the drug penetrates the skin at a controlled rate to achieve either systemic or localized therapeutic effects. Our expert team meticulously designs and optimizes formulations by selecting suitable active ingredients, excipients, and utilizing cutting-edge preparation techniques to ensure maximum efficacy and quality.

Cutting-Edge Transdermal Patch Technologies

We specialize in leveraging novel carriers to enhance drug penetration through the skin, improving drug solubility and stability.

• Cubic Nanocarriers: Disrupt the stratum corneum's structure to improve drug fluidity and penetration.
• Liposomes: These amphiphilic vesicles increase the transdermal delivery of poorly soluble or large-molecule drugs.
• Microneedles: Create microchannels in the skin, allowing drugs to bypass the outer layers for more efficient absorption.

Published Data

Transdermal patches have the advantages of easy use, stable blood drug concentration, and prolonged action time. We have mastered advanced transdermal drug delivery technologies, such as microneedle perforation, iontophoresis, ultrasonic iontophoresis, etc., which can significantly improve the skin permeability and bioavailability of drugs so that drugs can more effectively enter the body to play a role and develop high-quality transdermal patch products that meet clinical needs. If you have any needs, please feel free to contact us, and our colleagues will contact you within three working days.
