Abstract
GRANDA CORTADA, Dinorah and DIDUK, Natalia A. Los liposomas en dermatoterapia. Rev Cubana Farm [online]. 1996, vol.30, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2988.
It id presented a review of those pharmaceuticals of topical use reported in literature and which have been encapsulated in liposomes aimed at increasing their biological effectiveness in the treatment of different skin diseases, making emphasis on the analysis of the results obtained by diverse authors. History of the application of liposomes in the topical administration of drugs is dealt with, and the methods and techniques used for studying the interaction between liposomes and skin are briefly analyzed. The results obtained so far allow to predict a wide use of the liposomic systems in dermatology in the future, taking into account that the advanced administration systems offer numerous advantages, such as: increase of the local effect with the subsequent reduction of systemic toxicity, versatility to attain a dermic or transdermic system depending on formulation, and a greater cosmetic acceptability, among others.
