What Are the Advantages of Transdermal Formulations?
Controlled Release: Transdermal formulations can provide a steady release of medication over time, reducing the need for frequent dosing. Reduced Side Effects: By bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, transdermal formulations can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Improved Compliance: Patients may find it easier to use a patch or gel compared to taking multiple pills or undergoing frequent injections. Targeted Delivery: Some transdermal formulations can be designed to deliver drugs to specific areas of the body, potentially improving efficacy.
