Comment 1
I removed the redirect to Transdermal_patch from transdermal patch.

Transdermal is a term that has recently been adopted by the body modification crowd to refer to a implanted device that protrudes through the skin (trans-termal: through the skin). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.113.146 (talk • contribs)

Correction?
Cleaning THIS up. God.

"The highest selling transdermal patch in the United States is the nicotine patch which releases nicotine to help with cessation of tobacco smoking. Correction fentanyl is now the number one selling patch." Menthol Cigarettes (talk) 12:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Transdermal analgesics
The article Salonpas has been proposed for deletion; that's fine since that article is largely advert. In my experience, though, 'salonpas' is, like 'kleenex', commonly used as a generic term for the type of products the company makes. Transdermal analgesics, typically methyl salicylate or capsaicin, are common over-the-counter remedies in Japan, and I think they've recently gone on the market in the US. I don't know about the market elsewhere. I wonder if transdermal analgesic pads are notable enough to warrant a separate page? or a section of this one? Cnilep (talk) 16:20, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

"Vapour Patch"
When listing types of patch (matrix, reservoir, etc) the "Vapour" patch is clearly written as a sales pitch for some new product not actually delivering any drug, except maybe menthol.

I think this needs to be addressed but I'm not qualified to do it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.245.250 (talk) 20:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Searching
the terms transdermal & dermal aren't very well known so people who may be contemplating using one of these & looking for info will know them as sinply 'patches' (which is what a Brit GP will most likely call them). So how about putting these on the patch disambiguation page under 'medical'? 86.150.255.56 (talk) 09:46, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

5-HTP transdermal?

 * 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) can also be administered through a transdermal patch, which was launched in the United Kingdom in early 2014.

No proof of effectiveness or absorption, neither by this cited manufacturer, nor by any other sources I could find. So probably 5-HTP can not be absorbed transdermally.

lidocaine patch?
the Wiki article on lidocaine mentions a 5% lidocaine transdermal patch can be used as analgesic. this article does not mention Lidocaine at all. She3sha3y5 (talk) 11:52, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
