Abstract
Transdermal medications are an useful yet underutilized tool in the field of psychiatry. Despite numerous advantages of using this route of medication delivery, transdermal medications remain less popular compared to other routes of medication administration such as oral and intramuscular routes in the management of various psychiatric conditions. In this editorial, we examine the advantages of transdermal medications with a brief overview of transdermal being used in psychiatry and other medical specialties. We discuss the factors that play a role in their limited usage in psychiatry. We highlight certain patient categories who can specifically benefit from them and discuss potential solutions that can broaden the perspective of treating clinicians making this an intriguing avenue in the field of psychiatry.
