Abstract

Transdermal drug delivery systems of salbutamol sulphate using eudragit RL100 and PVP were developed by solvent casting technique employing mercury as a substrate. Propylene glycol was used as a plasticizer. The prepared films exhibited satisfactory physico-chemical characteristics. In vitro permeation profiles across the guinea-pig dorsal skin using K-C diffusion cell are reported. Incorporating PEG-400 and tween 60 into the films enhanced the permeation across guinea-pig skin; permeation rate was greater with films containing PEG-400. The permeation followed zero order kinetics and mechanism was found to be matrix diffusion. Key words: Salbutamol sulphate, Guinea pig skin, Permeation enhancer. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci.
