    GlossaryTransdermal Delivery (Skin Patch)

    method of administering drugs through the skin for absorption

    Transdermal Delivery, also known as Transdermal Drug Delivery, is a method of administering medications through the skin. This system allows drugs to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, providing a controlled release over time. Common examples include nicotine patches for smoking cessation and hormone replacement therapy patches. This method can improve patient compliance and reduce gastrointestinal side effects compared to oral medications.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 1 year ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
