Improved patient compliance and effectiveness are the most important aspects of a drug delivery system. For effective transdermal drug delivery system, the drug must be able to penetrate the skin so that drug can easily reach the target site. Different physical and chemical enhancers are used to improve the transdermal permeation rate by increasing drug solubility, diffusion coefficient, and reservoir effect which is not feasible and leads to toxic side effects. It has been found that drugs from herbal origin can be utilized with enhanced efficacy by incorporating in transdermal drug patches.
