...easy To Read And To Understand....a Worthwhile Addition To Academic And Industry Libraries.

Covers the fundamental aspects of physical and chemical enhancement for the transport of peptides and non-peptides through the skin, mucosae and cornea. The work outlines enhancement technologies for a variety of transdermal, dermatological, ocular, mucosal and cosmetic products. From the onset of drug delivery research, scientists have investigated the enhancement of drug absorption to improve efficacy of treatment and to reduce the toxicities associated with systemic therapy.
