Recenzje

"This book presents information on various technologies related to transdermal drug delivery. The author tried to set forth the basic principles of the subject matter. Anyone involved in the development of transdermal drug delivery will find this title somewhat useful, in addition to graduate students and scientists. In the marketplace, there are several books similar to this title, e.g., Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery: Principles and Practice, Benson and Watkinson (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012), which present a broader range of topics than this one." --Doody Reviews
