ABSTRACT

The objective of this review is to assess the potential of polymeric film forming systems as sustained delivery platform for topical drug delivery. The advantageous and superior cosmetic attributes of FFS (compared to conventional semi-solid formulations) that offer significantly improved patient compliance are also addressed. The conventional dosage forms require multiple daily applications frequently which results in poor patient compliance, especially in the treatment of chronic skin diseases. Consequently, development of sustained delivery systems for topical drugs permitting less frequent dosing is of continuing interest for dermatological therapy. In the current discussion, the film forming systems are described as a promising choice for topical and transdermal drug delivery. Keywords: Film forming systems, transdermal drug delivery, sustained release
