Skin-delivered chemical regulator
A hormone patch is a medicated adhesive pad applied to the skin that delivers hormones steadily into the bloodstream.
Patches are used for birth control, hormone replacement therapy during menopause, or testosterone supplementation.
The slow transdermal release maintains more consistent hormone levels than pills: She switched from the pill to the patch.
