- site specific local drug delivery by professionals

Question 6

def. of substantivity

Answer 6

Persistence of effect of a topically applied drug or cosmetic, determined by the degree of physical and chemical bonding to the surface; resistance to removal or inactivation by sweating, swimming, bathing, and friction, among other factors
