Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) has been an increased interest in the drug administration via the skin for both local therapeutic effects on diseased skin (topical delivery) as well as for systemic delivery of drugs. Econazole is a synthetic antifungal agent belonging to the group of imidazole . It is one of the commonly used antifungal agents for most kinds of fungal infections including superficial and invasive fungal infections. In the present investigation matrix patches were formulated using different ingredients. Total seven types of patches were formulated and was evaluated. It was observed from the results obtained in drug content and drug release that TPE5 have best results therefore these formulations were subjected for stability studies. Stability studies were carried out as per ICH guidelines at three different temperature and RH for 3 months for the optimized formulations of transdermal patches of econazole. The results indicates that the transdermal patches of econazole showing better results at 32°C ± 2°C/60% RH ± 5%
