Transdermal drug delivery systems are gaining popularity, as several drugs have been successfully delivered by this route. Transdermal delivery can provide both local and systemic effects. We use a wide variety of gels to help deliver medication through the skin including Versabase®, Lipopen®, Lipoderm®, Anhydrous, Vanpen®, Pracasil® and PLO to name a few. The choice of base depends on the medication(s) and indication(s). Please ask one of our compounding pharmacists for a recommendation or help in formulating your transdermal gel compounded prescription.
