• Hydrogel patches are ideal for drug delivery.
• Patches are a relatively new method of delivering medication that has important advantages over other more traditional methods of drug delivery.
• As a system of drug delivery, hydrogel patches are less intrusive, painless, can medicate for preplanned time periods, provide the potential for a release of medication more consistent with the body's own glandular activity, thereby avoiding dosage spikes and, or, digestive alteration, and minimize side effects apparent in more traditional delivery methodologies of injection or ingestion.
