Transdermal

Teikoku's success is due in large part to its specialty in transdermal drug delivery. Teikoku offers a variety of transdermal technologies, including:

  • Ointments and Creams: Teikoku has earned a reputation for developing and manufacturing quality topical products. We complete our transdermal capabilities by offering a variety of ointments and creams.

  • Patches: Patch technologies provide targeted drug delivery and absorption, avoid first-pass metabolism, allow quick and easy interruption if an adverse reaction occurs, and improve patient compliance thanks to their ease of use.



Patch Types

The hydrogel patch is a drug-in-adhesive patch with the adhesive designed for the specific compound the patch carries. The patch base is a water-soluble polymer and water. Hydrogel patches are well suited for treating inflamed areas as they can provide a cooling effect on the application surface.

Tapes (anhydrous patches) contain a base consisting of a lipophilic polymer. With this type, there are various lipophilic ingredients that can be formulated. Tapes have increased flexibility and adhesiveness but lack the cooling benefits of hydrogel patches.
