Abstract

In recent times, there has been notable advancement in the realm of cutting-edge targeted drug delivery systems focused on enhancing therapeutic effectiveness, minimizing side effects, and streamlining application processes. Several controlled-release drug delivery systems, offering various benefits such as reduced side effects, less frequent application, and the ability to achieve the desired drug release profile, have already been created. Transdermal drug delivery systems with controlled release of drugs based on hydrogels have garnered significant interest due to their non-invasive characteristics. Alginate-based hydrogel systems can effectively provide rapid antibacterial protection, promote wound healing, and prevent infections. Hydrogels can also reduce pain in open wounds by preventively moisturizing the bottom of the wound and avoiding desiccation of nerve endings.
