    Glossary Drug Penetration

    process of a drug moving into underlying tissues or bloodstream

    Drug penetration refers to the process by which a drug moves from the surface of the skin or another barrier into the underlying tissues or bloodstream. This is crucial for topical treatments, such as creams or ointments, to be effective. Factors like the drug's molecular size, formulation, and the condition of the skin can influence how well a drug penetrates.
