How it Works

Our transdermal patches deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through a controlled-release mechanism. With advanced adhesive formulations and permeation enhancers, the patch facilitates steady absorption and consistent delivery directly into the bloodstream.

Apply the transdermal patch to a clean, dry area of skin.

The patch releases medication, delivering it steadily into the bloodstream.

Customized absorption for steady, controlled drug release.

FAQs

Transdermal patches are versatile and can deliver a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including prescription and over-the-counter medications. They are ideal for drugs that require controlled release, systemic absorption, or specific targeted delivery. Even APIs with low water solubility can be optimized for effective skin absorption.
Transdermal patches offer an innovative delivery method that enhances drug efficacy, improves patient convenience, and sets your product apart in the competitive market. They provide sustained drug release, bypass the gastrointestinal tract, and offer a non-invasive solution for conditions requiring continuous medication delivery.

Most drugs can be formulated into transdermal patches, depending on permeability, stability, and therapeutic needs. A feasibility study can determine if transdermal delivery is the right option for your API, offering potential solutions for challenging formulations.

Transdermal patches offer controlled drug release over time, typically ranging from several hours to days. The release rate can be tailored to meet therapeutic goals, ensuring consistent drug absorption and minimizing peak-trough fluctuations.

Transdermal patches provide numerous benefits compared to tablets and capsules:

  • Non-invasive—no need for swallowing or injections
  • Controlled release—sustained medication delivery for convenience
  • Enhanced absorption—direct skin permeation, avoiding first-pass metabolism
  • Discreet—ideal for long-term treatment without interference
  • Improved adherence—easy to apply and remove
Yes, transdermal patches significantly enhance patient compliance. Their ease of application, discreet design, and ability to provide continuous dosing make them an attractive option for patients who may struggle with frequent pill intake or injection schedules.
Transdermal patches can be tailored for various APIs, including those with poor water solubility, unstable properties, or those requiring targeted delivery. Multi-layer systems and advanced formulations ensure optimal absorption and stability of sensitive compounds.
Transdermal patches improve drug absorption by delivering medication directly through the skin with safe and proven permeation enhancers. This method avoids gastrointestinal barriers and first-pass metabolism, resulting in more efficient and faster therapeutic effects.
Transdermal patches utilize GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) excipients, which ensure stability, skin compatibility, and effective drug delivery. Common excipients include adhesive polymers, permeation enhancers, and skin-friendly stabilizers.
Yes, transdermal patches can be customized for many patient requirements, including pediatric-friendly formulations, geriatric designs for easy application, specific wear times and customized release profiles tailored to specific therapeutic needs.
Our team offers an end-to-end approach to developing transdermal patches, from initial formulation to full-scale manufacturing. To ensure market success, we provide services, including design optimization, clinical production, regulatory compliance support, and stability testing.
Transdermal patches are engineered for stability, with storage requirements to maintain product integrity. Transdermal patches are packaged in individual foil pouches for protection and should be kept in a cool, dry environment, away from sunlight and moisture. Custom stability protocols are developed to ensure long-term shelf life and safety.
