The transdermal patch formulation has many advantages, including noninvasiveness, an ability to bypass the first-pass metabolism, low dosage requirements, and prolonged drug delivery. However, the instability of solid-state drugs is one of the most critical problems observed in transdermal patch products. Therefore, a well-characterized approach for counteracting stability problems in solid-state drugs is crucial for improving the performance of transdermal patch products. This review provides insight into the solid-state stability of drugs associated with transdermal patch products and offers a comprehensive update on the various approaches being used for improving the stability of the active pharmaceutical ingredients currently being used.
透皮贴剂制剂具有许多优点,包括非侵入性、能够绕过首过代谢、低剂量需求和延长药物输送。然而,固态药物的不稳定性是透皮贴剂产品中观察到的最关键问题之一。因此,对于改善透皮贴剂产品的性能,采取一种能够对抗固态药物稳定性问题的特征明确方法至关重要。本综述深入探讨了与透皮贴剂产品相关的药物固态稳定性,并全面更新了目前用于改善活性药物成分稳定性的各种方法。
