A breakthrough in wellness delivery. Experience consistent, discreet, and long-lasting relief through Better Bud Botanicals’ cannabinoid-infused transdermal patches.

Transdermal patches are adhesive systems infused with cannabinoids, offering a controlled and sustained release through the skin. They’re ideal for pain management, relaxation, and overall wellness — delivering cannabinoids directly where your body needs them most.

How Do Transdermal Patches Work?

The skin, the body’s largest organ, serves as a natural gateway that allows medications to pass through its layers and enter the bloodstream. Transdermal patches are designed with multiple layers that work together to deliver this controlled absorption, each serving a specific purpose in the process:

1. Backing Layer: The protective outer surface that shields the patch from external elements and provides structure and durability.
2. Reservoir or Matrix: Holds the active ingredients — either within a gel-like reservoir or evenly distributed throughout a matrix — ensuring steady and effective delivery.
3. Membrane: Acts as a controlled gatekeeper, regulating the release rate of the active compounds for consistent absorption over time.
4. Adhesive Layer: Secures the patch comfortably to the skin, maintaining full contact to promote optimal absorption throughout wear.

Advantages of Transdermal Patches

1. Convenience: They provide a non-invasive and easy-to-use method of drug administration, eliminating the need for frequent dosing.
2. Consistent medication Delivery: Patches offer a controlled and steady release of medication, maintaining therapeutic levels in the bloodstream.
3. Reduced Side Effects: By bypassing the digestive system, patches can reduce gastrointestinal side effects associated with some medications.
4. Improved Patient Compliance: Patches simplify medication regimens, potentially improving patient adherence to treatment plans.

Common Medication and compounds delivered via transdermal patches

1. Pain Medications: Opioids and non-opioid analgesics for chronic pain management.
2. Hormones: Estrogen and progestin patches for hormone replacement therapy.
3. Nicotine Replacement: Patches to aid in smoking cessation.
4. Cardiovascular Medications: Patches delivering medications for hypertension and angina.
5. Cannabinoids: Transdermal patches for controlled release of cannabinoids (CBD, THC) for therapeutic purposes.

Considerations

• Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergies.
• Site Rotation: Regularly changing application sites helps prevent skin irritation.
• Adherence: Ensuring the patch stays in place is crucial for consistent drug delivery.
