Transdermal Microneedle medicinal patches containing homeopathic medicine: A technological development in drug delivery

Author(s):

Abstract:
Transdermal microneedle medicinal patches containing homeopathic medicine represent a groundbreaking advancement in drug delivery, merging traditional homeopathic approaches with modern microneedle technology. This novel delivery system leverages micron-sized needles to create microchannels in the skin, facilitating efficient and painless administration of highly diluted homeopathic treatments directly to the dermal tissue. Microneedle technology bypasses the stratum corneum barrier, enhancing the bioavailability of homeopathic substances and potentially improving therapeutic outcomes. Applications of these patches extend across pain management, cosmetic therapy, and even cancer treatments, illustrating their versatility. Despite promising prospects, challenges related to regulatory acceptance and safety validation remain, particularly within the context of homeopathic applications. Continuous research on optimizing microneedle design and materials could catalyze wider clinical adoption, potentially bridging the gap between alternative and conventional medicine.
