Topical administration is not a gastrointestinal tract route of drug administration. It involves applying medication directly to the skin or mucous membranes for localized effects.
The transdermal route is a method of delivering medication through the skin for systemic effects. This is typically achieved using patches that release a controlled amount of drug over time, allowing for gradual absorption into the bloodstream. Transdermal delivery can enhance patient compliance by providing a non-invasive and convenient alternative to oral or injectable medications. It is commonly used for hormones, pain relief, and certain cardiovascular drugs.
Topical medication is administered on the skin or mucous membranes.
