Abstract

Drug products applied to the skin can be subdivided into two categories: One is the dermatological formulations (cream, ointments, gels, lotions) intended for the treatment of local skin disorders; the other is the transdermal delivery systems (ointments and patches) intended for the treatment or prevention of systemic disease.
