Transdermal Medications
Transdermal means 'through the skin.' Topically-applied, transdermal medications have a number of significant advantages over orally-delivered medications, because they
- Act directly on the affected area, delivering more medication to the site
- Generally have fewer side effects, including stomach irritation and cardiovascular risks
- Can avoid adverse interaction with the liver or kidneys
- May be easily accepted by patients with trouble swallowing, are nauseous or vomiting
- May avoid the inconvenience and cost of injections or intravenous therapy
- Are excellent for children unable to take oral medications and pets
