The objective of this study was to evaluate the
mechanical properties of transdermal therapeutic
systems (TTS) containing captopril together with
synthetic and pH independent polymers, Eudragit
RL 100 and RS 100. The formulations were
characterized in terms of their adhesiveness and
bioadhesiveness by using texture analyser. These
optimum formulations were chosen according to the
results of our previous study regarding in vitro
dissolution and ex vivo diffusion rate studies through
excised human skin by using Franz Diffusion Cell.
Results indicated that the mechanical properties of
the formulations were suitable to be used as a
transdermal patch.
