What are Transdermal drugs?
Transdermal drugs are products intended for administration through the dermal layer of the skin to the systemic circulation by diffusion. Healthcare teams may also search this route as transdermal patches, through-the-skin systemic delivery, patch medications, and transdermal system drugs. This category is most relevant for hospital, outpatient, behavioral health, cardiology, and pharmacy workflows where controlled patch delivery is preferred. Common product examples in this catalog include Asenapine Transdermal System, Clonidine, and Nitroglycerin Patch. When sourcing transdermal medications, healthcare teams usually compare NDC, strength or concentration, dosage form, package configuration, and any route-specific storage or handling requirements.
