What is the unique aspect of Secuado's formulation?

The unique aspect of Secuado's formulation is that it acts as a depot in the skin. This innovative delivery system allows the medication to be released gradually over time, providing continuous medication levels in the bloodstream while minimizing peaks and troughs in drug concentration. This depot effect is particularly beneficial for managing conditions that require stable medication levels, such as certain psychiatric disorders.

This method contrasts with oral medications, which can lead to rapid absorption and varying blood levels, and does not apply to weekly patches specifically, which might not utilize the same depot mechanism. Additionally, while the oral route of administration is common for many medications, Secuado's distinctive formulation focuses on transdermal delivery, emphasizing its unique depot action in the skin rather than ingestion.
