Administration of drugs transdermal route
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000270
The delivery of drugs through the skin into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism. This route typically involves patches or gels that allow for controlled and sustained drug release over an extended period. It is suitable for potent drugs with a relatively low daily dose.
