Topical Patches
Single- and multilayer Topical Patches have the active ingredient (API) embedded in a hydrogel or adhesive layer matrix, which is constantly released through the skin into the body locally in a limited area of the body, over periods of time that vary from a few hours to a week, offering many advantages over oral administration, such as for example better tolerability and reduction in the frequency of administration.
You find Topical Patches with our without micro-perforation of the nonwoven or substrate. They can be applied for a few hours or even several days.
Prescription Topical Patches are often packaged individually in single-use sachets for protection from light, moisture, and air, thus ensuring that the patch remains sterile until it is ready for application and preserving its efficacy and shelf life. These sachets are typically heat-sealed and child-resistant, requiring scissors to open along a dotted line to access the patch within.
Over-the counter topical patches are often also packaged in sachets as multiple count with our without ziplock, allowing easy use and storage, with each patch being available when needed.
Also well known in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Topical Patches are used to deliver a wide range of topical medicines including corticosteroids, antibiotics, antiseptics, and anti-fungal and pain relief such as diclofenac and ibuprofen, local anesthetics, lidocaine and specific treatments like neuropathic pain.
