What Are Transdermal Patches?
The transport of agents (chemical or drugs) across the skin and into the general circulation of the bloodstream is known as the Transdermal Delivery System.* The Transdermal Patch is an adhesive patch, much like the common Band-Aid, that attaches directly to the skin and releases its contents directly into the bloodstream. The contents of Natural Trim Patch enter the bloodstream in constant, extremely small quantities for up to 24 hours before Natural Trim Patch must be replaced. The primary advantage of Natural Trim Patch is that ill effects to the metabolism or internal organs does not occur as is often the case with medicines that are absorbed through the stomach. For example, the most commonly prescribed patch for motion sickness is scopolamine which is so effective when administered by a transdermal patch that it is no longer prescribed in any other way. *As defined by the Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Ireland.
