Answer:

A transdermal patch is a patch that attaches to your skin and contains medication. The drug from the patch is absorbed into your body over a period of time. If you’d rather not have a pill or an injection, a patch may be a more comfortable option for taking some medications. Transdermal patches are used to deliver a range of drugs into the body.
