Pharma clinics. Comment je traite ... ou préviens une douleur par "patches"

There exists two distinct types of patches aiming at increasing the pain threshold either systematically or locally. The first type of analgesic patch is a real transdermal delivery system releasing fentanyl. Such potent opioid drug exerts a systemic effect. The other type of patch associates lidocain and prilocain to induce a local anesthesia of the skin without inducing a systemic effect.
