Global Transdermal Prescription Gels Market: Essential Formulation Factors, Technologies and Market Development - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, Dec 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Transdermal Prescription Gels" report to their offering.

Transdermal gel systems for delivering systemic therapeutics are attractive to drug developers and formulators because they address some of the shortcomings associated with transdermal patch products. Advances in the areas of excipients, drug solubility and transdermal dosing are attracting new players and investors.

We expect this market to experience healthy growth as gel technology is applied to existing drugs and as gel formulations become a route of choice for the administration of new NCEs. Growth in this sector will also be driven by the pressure to extend market protection for numerous drugs with soon-to-expire patents, as well as Rx-to-OTC switching.
