About this document
Understanding Skin Drug Delivery Mechanisms by eva damamain is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses factors that determine drug permeation into the skin. It begins by describing the structure of the skin, focusing on the stratum corneum as the primary barrier. It then examines the two pathways drugs can take to penetrate the skin - transcellular or intercellular. The intercellular route between corneocytes is believed to be the dominant pathway. Other factors like solubility, partition coefficient, and molecular size/weight determine a drug
