Excerpt

Transdermal medications provide a versatile approach to managing conditions such as hypertension, motion sickness, pain, and migraines. These medications utilize drug delivery through the skin, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and avoiding first-pass metabolism. This method is particularly effective for drugs that are poorly absorbed orally or extensively metabolized. Common formulations include patches, creams, and gels designed for sustained drug release, offering an alternative to oral or injectable routes.
