TDDS
Across
- 3. Delivery of charged compounds using an electrical field.
- 8. Chemical that reversibly alters stratum corneum to increase permeability
- 10. weight Ideal ≤400 for effective transdermal drug delivery.
- 11. Use of high-frequency ultrasound to enhance drug penetration.
- 14. diffusion Method by which drug molecules penetrate the keratinized tissue.
- 15. TDDS design embedding the drug directly in the adhesive.
Down
- 1. coefficient Factor influencing rate of transport between stratum corneum and vehicle.
- 2. TDDS design containing drug in a separate compartment.
- 4. Mechanism by which TDDS prevents sweat from passing and increases skin hydration.
- 5. Living tissue layer between stratum corneum and dermis.
- 6. Vascularized layer under the epidermis where drugs enter general circulation.
- 7. Increased by TDDS acting as an occlusive moisture barrier, favors absorption.
- 9. The medium carrying the drug in the TDDS.
- 12. corneum The 10–15 μm outer layer of nonliving skin tissue, major barrier to drug transport.
- 13. Component concentrated in extracellular phase that influences first step of absorption.
