medical patch

A medical patch is a thin, adhesive-backed device applied to the skin to deliver medication directly into the bloodstream over time. It works by allowing active ingredients to be absorbed through the skin, providing a steady dosage without the need for pills or injections. Patches are used for various treatments such as pain relief, smoking cessation, hormone therapy, and chronic conditions. They are convenient, easy to use, and can help maintain consistent medication levels, enhancing treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects typically associated with oral medications.
