polysaccharides used in transdermal drug delivery system, system provides continuous controlled delivery of active ingredients through human skin and into the blood stream, Poor penetration of most drugs into the skin, increase the permeability of such drugs, natural polysaccharides in transdermal formulations has increased as an alternative to the synthetic materials, Structure modification and polymer blending polysaccharides and other materials in order to alter their functional properties, natural polymers provided better controlled release and drug permeation, physicochemical properties of polysaccharides and their effects on drug release profile, skin microstructure, and transdermal drug permeation
