Current guidelines and practical experience
Despite an increasing number of approved Transdermal Systems (TDS) commercially available, TDS may still be considered a niche product/route for drug delivery.
Yet TDS remains a valuable drug delivery option with its ability to reach a wider patient profile in an alternative way.
Recently, some important guideline documents on TDS have been created or revised which can provide general guidance in setting up TDS analytics. However, only a comparably small number of companies have hands-on experience in manufacture and testing of TDS, be it in the service sphere or at pharma/biotech companies.
This webinar considers both the main guideline documents as well as practical experience in TDS analytics gained at LTS over the past years.
The webinar will focus on the analysis of drug-in-adhesive (DIA) patches with systemic drug delivery by passive diffusion.
More specifically, this webinar will cover:
- The elements typically found in a TDS specification
- Analytical methods which are:
- (nearly) identical to testing of other dosage forms
- modified compared to other dosage forms
- unique for testing TDS
