The transdermal drug delivery system provides an attractive alternative to traditional methods like oral administration and injections for delivering drugs. However, the stratum corneum acts as a barrier that limits the penetration of substances through the skin. Recently, researchers have suggested and demonstrated that incorporating nanoemulsion into a transdermal patch can significantly enhance skin permeability and improve transdermal delivery. Studies have shown that nanoemulsion is a more effective drug delivery system compared to other incorporated transdermal methods. The effectiveness of the nanoemulsion is influenced by the choice and properties of the surfactant and co-surfactant used. Therefore, this review article examines the ability of nanoemulsion incorporated in transdermal patch for drug delivery system.
