👉 A dosage weapon, also known as a controlled-release medication or transdermal patch, is a medical device designed to deliver drugs in a steady, controlled manner over an extended period. Unlike traditional oral medications that are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and can lead to fluctuations in blood levels, dosage weapons release medication gradually through the skin or mucous membranes. This method ensures a consistent therapeutic effect, reduces the frequency of dosing, and minimizes side effects associated with peak drug concentrations. Common examples include nicotine patches, transdermal estrogen patches for hormone replacement therapy, and fentanyl patches used in pain management.
