Patch Therapy

Patch therapy involves applying a medicated patch directly to the skin to deliver continuous, controlled doses of medication over time. This method allows for steady absorption of drugs, often improving convenience and maintaining consistent blood levels. It is used for various conditions, such as pain management, hormone therapy, or nicotine replacement. The patch typically sticks to clean, dry skin and needs to be replaced as directed. This approach can reduce side effects compared to oral medications and enhance adherence by simplifying treatment routines.
