NEUROPATHIC PAIN SYMPTOMS OF POST HERPETIC NEURALGIA PATIENTS WITH CYP2D6 POLYMORPHISM UNDERGOING TRAMADOL TREATMENT
Main aim of this study was to find out relation of CYP2D6 polymorphism with tramadol action in post herpetic neuralgia (PHN) patients. This non- responders versus responders study mainly includes 246 patients (age group 20-80 years) of PHN, assigned into two groups depending upon their response to tramadol treatment at the end of 2nd week of drug therapy. On the basis of CYP2D6 polymorphism, an al...

PERMEATION ENHANCERS COMPATIBLE WITH TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS OVERCOMING THE SKIN BARRIER FUNCTIONS: CURRENT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) provides a leading edge over injectables and oral routes by increasing patient compliance and avoiding the first-pass metabolism respectively. Transdermal delivery not only provides controlled, constant administration of the drug, but also allows continuous input of drugs with short biological half-lives and eliminates pulsed entry into the systemic circulat...
