fluorouracil
what drugs do we use for antipruritic
antihistamine
what drugs do we use for trichogenic and antitrichogenic
minoxidil(rogaine)

which layer of skin limits diffusion of compunds
stratum corneum
what areas of body are more permeable than the forearm
scrotum, face, axilla and scalp
what factor helps increase the amount of drug transfered through skin
increased [ ] will increase the [ ] gradient so more transferred
what allows for the once daily application of topical drugs
skin acts as reservoir for many drugs
what is an occlusive dressing
application of plastic wrap– holds drug in close contact with skin
3 routes which molecules can penetrate skin
intact stratum corneum (rate limit is percutaneous absorption)
sweat ducts
sebaceous follicles
steps for percutaneous absorption
make [ ] gradient (force for drug movement across skin)
partition coefficient: release of drug from vehicle
diffusion coefficient: drug diffusion across layers of skin
