Creating a brighter future with transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS), from medical care to cosmetics
Transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS) deliver drugs to the body by absorption through the skin. TTS have garnered attention since they offer a method of drug delivery that provides longer therapeutic effects with minimal pain and minimal impact on the digestive system. As an expert in TTS committed to exploring all possibilities for this platform, CosMED Pharmaceutical has established two core technologies: microneedles and adhesive patches, that offer safer and friendlier treatment for patients. In 2008, CosMED Pharmaceuticals was the first in the world* to successfully commercialize dissolving microneedle technology, broadening applications for this technology into the health and beauty domains and opening up new markets. We are committed to evolving our core technologies and developing the field of transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS) into new markets from medical care to cosmetics.

Core technologies
Microneedles
A novel alternative to traditional injections that uses very small needles to deliver drugs or active compounds by absorption into the skin.

Adhesive Patches
Adhesive patches are placed on the skin and deliver drugs and active compounds by absorption into the skin. The substrate material used in adhesive patches must be designed to meet a range of requirements, including drug stability, skin safety, and user experience.
CosMED Pharmaceutical develops adhesive patches using its expertise in transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS) and advanced technologies.
