ABSTRACT:
The various common techniques for transdermal medication delivery include hypodermic needles, topical lotions, and transdermal patches. Because the stratum corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier for molecules, the action of most therapeutic medicines is restricted, and only a few molecules are able to penetrate and reach the location of action. A novel type of delivery technology known as micro needles aids in improving medication distribution through this channel and addressing the many issues associated with traditional formulations. Because of the problems associated with oral medication delivery methods, transdermal drug administration utilising micro needles is gaining popularity. The possibilities and uses of micro needles are discussed in this review. Micro needles of many sorts can be manufactured, including solid, dissolving, hydrogel, coated, and hollow micro needles. The fabrication process chosen is determined on the kind and material of the micro needle. This technique is now being used in a variety of sectors, including oligonucleotide distribution, vaccine administration, insulin delivery, and even cosmetics.
