Which dosage form can last longer due to its slow release of medication?

The transdermal patch is designed to deliver medication slowly and continuously over an extended period of time. This dosage form allows for a sustained release of the active ingredient through the skin into the bloodstream, providing prolonged therapeutic effects without the need for frequent dosing.

The unique design of transdermal patches helps maintain steady drug levels, reducing the peaks and troughs often associated with other forms of medication delivery. This slow release can be particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions, where consistent blood levels are necessary for effective treatment.

In contrast, tablets, injectables, and capsules may require more frequent administration or may provide medication release more quickly, thus not offering the same duration of action as a transdermal patch.
