Why Transdermal Patches Will Lead The Way In Medicine
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Transdermal patches will change the way medicine is administered. Why?
A transdermal patch is worn on the body just like a nicotine patch, nicotine patches became available on the market many years ago back in the 1990’s helping people to stop smoking. The efficiveness of the patches is due the the medicine / nicotine being administered through the skin. The transdermal patch offer increased effectiveness as the journey of the medicine is taken direct to the blood stream, if the medicine was taken traditionally i.e. oraly it would need to go travel through the stomach which is them broken down by stomach acids and digestion enzymes then finally getting to the bloodstream this offten means a smaller dose of what should have been administered.
Transdermal patches will help everybody. Why?
Simply, the ease of use! When taking medication rules often apply.
- Take on a empty stomach
- Take a hour before food
- Take after food
- Take two, three times a day
This above is just some examples of advice found on a few packets of medicine, with transdermal patches simply wake up place the patch on your body, usually your arm or stomach then carry out your day as normal releasing the medication for the 24hr period
Transdermal patches can also help the elderly, when people age the body reduces making natural aids such amino sugar. Lack of amino sugars often relate to Osteoarthritis often known as degenerative arthritis. A health suppliment is then needed to boost the amino sugars this is found in Glucosamine, elderly people may also struggle taking are capsuals or tablets.
Transdermal patches are not only for the elderly but a growing number of young adults are starting to see the benefits of using a transdermal patch! Across the word a new phenomena has broken out the Pink Patch the Pink Patch works as a appetite suppressant, Metabolism booster and Energy Enhancer. This again works using a the transdermal process.
How long will it be now until everyday medicine’s like paracetamol are delivered via transdermal patches?
