A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream. Often, this promotes healing to an injured area of the body. An advantage of a transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery such as oral, topical, intravenous, intramuscular, etc. is that the patch provides a controlled release of the medication into the patient, usually through either a porous membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive. The main disadvantage to transdermal delivery systems stems from the fact that the skin is a very effective barrier; as a result, only medications whose molecules are small enough to penetrate the skin can be delivered by this method. A wide variety of pharmaceuticals are now available in transdermal patch form.
The first commercially available prescription patch was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 1979. These patches administered scopolamine for motion sickness.
Well, you're a long walk from my street
And I'm dying in this summer heat
I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting
Everybody's living like they're crazy in love
I'm a dizzy mess, and everything is so above me
From the floor of any life I lead today
Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last, time then we said goodbye to the beach
(Showing off, showing off our teeth)
So make one last call back home
Cause tonight we go in alone
And I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting...
(Summer do you feel me?)
Everybody's singing like we're crazy in love
We made a dizzy mess of everything but it was enough
So bring all the boys and all the girls together
Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time then we said goodbye to the beach
(Showing off, showing off our teeth)
(Summer do you feel me
Listen can you hear it?
Cave in and believe me
Open up and scream it)
You're going out in style
And I'm getting tired of all your lying
Stop pretending
Stop, the answer's in the smile
And I'm coming clean
Just give me something
Stop pretending
Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time then we said goodbye to the beach
