A 2 factors (HPMC (hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose) K4M & PVP (Polyvinyl Pyrolidone) 3 level (23) factorial design was done using Design Expert® which gave 13 experiments. The patches were prepared by Solvent casting method. Propylene glycol (3%) and Tween 80 (6%) were used as plasticizer and permeation enhancer respectively. Physicochemical characteristics and In-Vitro permeation study of formulated transdermal patches were carried out.
