Question: 1 / 400

Which type of medication is designed to deliver treatment locally or systemically through a transdermal patch?

Antidepressants

Antacids

Anti-tussives

Topical medicines

Topical medicines are designed to be delivered locally, meaning the effects remain confined to the area where the medication is applied. While the other options listed (antidepressants, antacids, and anti-tussives) may also come in transdermal patch form, they are intended for systemic use, meaning the effects are distributed throughout the body. Therefore, these options are incorrect in the context of this question. Additionally, it should be noted that other types of medications, such as hormones, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory drugs, may also be available in transdermal patch form for local or systemic delivery.
