Abstract

An overview of the use of nanoparticles for topical drug delivery will be given in this review paper. Several experiments have been conducted in the past 25 years to remove some of the obstacles to skin delivery. These investigations have led to a rather modest progress in technology. A more recent method involved increasing the medication's concentration in the carrier to increase drug flow into and through the skin. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic medications can be delivered using nanoparticles, which have the ability to release drugs under regulated conditions over an extended period of time. It also increases patient compliance. Liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles have the potential to be useful as topical medication delivery methods.
