Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems Amit K. Mitra, Ph.D ONDC, CDER
Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems • Drug in adhesive • Drug in reservoir with a membrane • Drug in matrix with adhesive overlay
Component/Composition • Drug in adhesive • Active, pressure sensitive adhesive, solvent, penetration enhancer, backing, release liner • Drug in reservoir • Active, gelling agent, solvent, penetration enhancer, adhesive, membrane, backing, release liner
Quality Control of Components • Functional components • Adhesive, penetration enhancer, backing, release liner, membrane
Equipment Involved • Drug in adhesive- Mixer, dryer (explosion proof), coater-laminator, Slitter, die cutting, pouching equipment • Drug in reservoir- Form-fill-seal, lamination, die cutting, pouching. Adhesive layer may be pre-formulated (mixing, drying, lamination)
Hazard Involved • Explosion proof oven • Solvents, monomers • Proper ventilation • Training of the staff
Quality Control of the Drug Product • Content, content uniformity, release rate of the active and penetration enhancer • Residual solvent, residual monomer • Release liner peel, adhesion • Microbiology • Pouch integrity
CONCLUSION • The component and composition are complex • The process and equipment are complex • Quality control of the finished product is complex
