Handbook of Non-Invasive Drug Delivery Systems

With the improvements in formulation science and certain transdermal delivery technologies, the non-invasive mode of drug delivery is now ready to compete with traditional methods of oral and injectible routes of drug delivery. This book includes both science and technological aspects of various drug delivery systems.
