Transdermal delivery of antenatal steroids to promote fetal lung maturation: Proof of principle data from sheep and non-human primate models

Transdermal delivery of antenatal steroids to promote fetal lung maturation: Proof of principle data from sheep and non-human primate models

Abstract Background Antenatal steroids (ANS) are routinely administered to women at risk of preterm birth to accelerate fetal lung maturation. Despite extensive clinical use, dosing and route of ANS administration remain unoptimized beyond intramuscular (IM) injection. We aimed to undertake a proof-...
