hormone patches

Skin-absorbed drug delivery

Hormone patches are adhesive patches worn on the skin that deliver hormones directly into the bloodstream through gradual absorption.

They're commonly used for hormone replacement therapy during menopause, birth control, or testosterone supplementation: She switched from pills to hormone patches because they're easier to remember.

The patch is typically replaced every few days or weekly.
