ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to prepare telmisartan transdermal patch and evaluate them to enhance their transdermal delivery Transdermal drug delivery is a painless, convenient, and potentially effective way to deliver regular doses of many medications. Wide range of drugs can be delivered improved drug uptake Minimal complications and side effects low cost and easy to use. Telmisartan loaded transdermal patches were successfully formulated with different polymeric mixtures. Telmisartan loaded patches showed good chemical and physical compatibility with accepted physicomechanical parameters. Considering the study outcomes, Telmisartan loaded patches showed promising results on laboratory animals that could motivate further research on human, in order to be used effectively and enhance patient’s compliance.
