Resumen:
Estradiol (E2) transdermal systems are indicated for the relief of menopausal and postmenopausal symptoms. Polymeric membranes with skin-imitating permeability properties appear as attractive models in the evaluation of transdermal drug delivery systems. Some examples are carbosil membranes and chitosan (CHT) membranes (1, 2). The aim of this work was to prepare a CHT membrane as a mimic of human epidermis and evaluate its applicability for the development of a CHT film for E2 delivery.
