ABSTRACT

One non-invasive way to administer medication is with transdermal patches. It is an adhesive patch made to deliver a certain amount of medicine through the skin and into the bloodstream. Compared to conventional approaches of administration, transdermal drug delivery offers a number of benefits, including being less invasive, patient-friendly, and able to avoid first-pass metabolism and the harmful acidic environment of the stomach that arises when medications are taken orally. Transdermal patches have drawn interest and been used for decades to administer medications like fentanyl, nicotine, nitroglycerin, and clonidine to treat a variety of illnesses. This technique has recently been investigated for the delivery of biologics ina number of applications. Here, we review the existing literature on the design.
