Popis: The purpose of this study was to develop suitable matrix-type transdermal drug delivery systems of Ketotifen fumarate (KF) as antiasthmatic drugs. Chitosan-alginate polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) films were used as drug release regulators for KF. Antihistaminic films with variable PEC compositions were prepared using different ratios of chitosan (CTS) to sodium alginate (ALG). Propylene glycol (PG) was used as plasticizer; Tween 80 (T
