Bio patch for diabetes

Transdermal patches for diabetes consist of plant components with pronounced medicinal properties. That is, such drugs can be classified as absolutely safe for the body. The bio patch is easily attached to the skin, and its active substances easily penetrate through the layers of the dermis into the systemic bloodstream. This action of the drug improves blood circulation and normalizes glucose levels.

Let's look at popular bio-patches:

• Anti hyperglycemia patch

Suitable for correction of all forms and stages of diabetes. Has 100% natural composition: licorice, coptis rhizomes, rice seeds, anemarrena, trichosanthes. All components have a maximum synergistic effect, that is, each substance enhances the effect of the other.

A unique herbal medicine. Its active ingredients penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and spread throughout the body. The patch contains yam, borneol, astragalus, marenta and other substances. The product is applied to the skin near the navel and left for 1-3 days. The patch should be removed during water procedures. A full course of treatment consists of 15-30 patches, i.e. 3-6 packages.

Pharmacodynamics

Diabetes patches are alternative medications used for both treatment and prevention of the disease. The transdermal agent is applied to the skin and its active components are absorbed into the systemic bloodstream.

This mechanism of action does not affect the gastrointestinal tract and avoids a decrease in the drug's activity due to gastric metabolism. At the same time, the risk of developing adverse reactions is reduced.

The transdermal agent has a faster and more effective effect compared to the oral one. The patch provides a constant concentration of active substances in the blood. The frequency of drug use is also reduced.

[ 13 ], [ 14 ], [ 15 ], [ 16 ]

Pharmacokinetics

The processes of absorption, distribution and metabolism, i.e. the pharmacokinetic features of the diabetes patch, are based on the continuous supply of medicinal substances into the systemic bloodstream through intact skin.

The transdermal form of the drug represents a controlled release technology for medicinal substances. The blood flow provides a constant level of concentration of active components, close to the minimum therapeutic effect. Excretion occurs with sweat and urination.

[ 17 ], [ 18 ], [ 19 ], [ 20 ], [ 21 ]

Dosing and administration

The effectiveness of the antidiabetic patch depends on the correctness of its application and dosage. Basic rules for using a transdermal patch:

• The product is most often attached to well-washed skin near the navel or to the feet, since according to Eastern doctors, energy channels intersect in this place. If there are hairs on the body at the place of attachment, it is better to shave them off so that there are no painful sensations when it is torn off.
• The package should be opened immediately before use. The protective film should be removed from the patch and firmly attached to the skin, having massaged it in advance to increase blood flow and better distribution of medicinal components.
• The duration of use of one patch is 6-11 hours. A more precise time can only be determined by an endocrinologist using systematic determination of blood sugar levels. At home, this can be done using a glucometer.
• After the effect has ended, the adhesive strip should be carefully removed from the skin, and the place of its attachment should be washed with warm soapy water. The next patch should be attached after 6-8 hours. The duration of the course is 28-30 days.

The therapeutic effect is noticeable after 2-3 days. Many patients note an improvement in their general condition and restoration of blood glucose levels. Treatment is recommended 2-3 times a year with a mandatory break of 1-2 months.

Use of the diabetes patch during pregnancy

The possibility of using antidiabetic patches during pregnancy and lactation should be determined by the attending physician. In most cases, transdermal drugs are not recommended. This is due to the risk of developing adverse reactions in both the mother and the fetus due to the action of the active components of the patch, penetrating into the systemic bloodstream. The safest method of correcting diabetes during pregnancy is insulin injections.

Contraindications

Despite the herbal composition, antidiabetic patches have contraindications for use:

• Individual intolerance to active components.
• Pregnancy and lactation.
• Childhood age of the patient.

Bio-plasters for diabetes are prohibited to be applied to damaged skin. Before applying the product, it is necessary to wait until the epidermis is completely restored.

Side effects of the diabetes patch

The development of side effects is most often manifested by local allergic reactions from the skin and subcutaneous fat. Redness, itching, burning, rashes with blisters and pustules appear on the body. In rare cases, contact dermatitis may develop. For treatment, discontinuation of the drug and further symptomatic therapy are indicated.

[ 27 ], [ 28 ], [ 29 ]

Overdose

There are no cases of overdose with transdremal antidiabetic agents. This is due to the fact that the active components create a minimum therapeutic level in the systemic bloodstream. Adverse reactions can develop only if the drug is used incorrectly.

[ 34 ], [ 35 ]

Interactions with other drugs

The systemic absorption of the active ingredients of Chinese diabetes patches is very low compared to oral administration. Therefore, interaction with other drugs is unlikely.

[ 36 ], [ 37 ]

Storage conditions

Antidiabetic patches should be stored in the original packaging, away from sunlight, moisture and out of reach of children. The storage temperature should not exceed 25 °C. The medicine can be kept in the refrigerator at 2-8 °C.

[ 38 ], [ 39 ]

Shelf life

According to the instructions, the patch has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, the product must be used within 30 days. Using an expired product may cause allergic reactions.

Doctors' reviews

According to doctors' reviews, antidiabetic patches really help to normalize the level of glucose and glycated plasma proteins in the blood. The beneficial properties of the product optimize the functioning of the thyroid gland, stabilize blood pressure and improve overall well-being.

At the same time, diabetes patches are not a full replacement for insulin injections. When choosing a transdermal agent, you should pay attention not only to its expiration date or composition, but also to the originality of the drug. It is also necessary to regularly monitor blood glucose levels.
