Topical drug delivery is the distribution of medications through topical channels such as mucosa, skin, or cavities in the body. These are used to avoid the drug's first-pass impact or to provide site-specific activity. Creams, ointments, lotions, foams, gels, and other drugs are included in topical drug delivery. Topical distribution has several advantages, including site specificity, great appropriateness for self-medication, elimination of drug level variations, and improved compliance. The pharmacological response of a medication is determined by the drug's concentration at the site of action. The desired therapeutic effect and the unwanted adverse consequence is determined by the dosage form and the drug's amount of absorption at the site of action.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significant impact on the public health. Several clinical trials for topical therapies in pandemic are now underway, with the goal of assisting the market under investigation. A considerable influence on topical medicine demand was also seen as a result of the delay in diagnosis and treatment. In June 2020, Mansoura University researchers began a clinical trial with a topical steroid and cyclosporin-A for the treatment of COVID-19 keratoconjunctivitis.
