The present invention relates to a method for transdermal drug delivery of insoluble drugs, especially those with severe side effects. It also relates to a new use for the drug Carafate(R). Specifically, the present invention describes a method for delivering insoluble drugs transdermally by making a suspension of the powdered form of the drug in an isotonic solution. Drugs which can be delivered by this method include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Vioxx(R), Celebrex(R), Accutane(R), and Carafate(R). The invention also describes a solution of a powdered form of Carafate(R) in an isotonic solution, which can then be used to treat conditions such as acne, herpes simplex II cold sores, root canal wounds, and dry sockets after teeth have been removed.
