Q
Topical vs Transdermal Delivery
A
Topical medications are applied to the skin for local conditions. They are designed for minimal absorption into the bloodstream.
Transdermal are designed to be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream to exert their effects on the body. These are engineered to penetrate the skin barrier and deliver the drug at a controlled rate.
