Transdermal Patch

Hoobie is always talking about a caffeine patch -I wonder if there is such a thing. I know there are caffeine pills that keep people on the alert. Uses of caffeine pills include the military and long-distance truck drivers. Their jobs need them to be on the alert at odd hours. Coffee (even double or triple shot espresso) is just not strong enough and effective.

Anyhow, talking about transdermal patches, Today had an report on eye patches for children to correct "lazy eye". Tests found that wearing the patch for (on avg) 4.2 hours a day will able to improve "lazy eye" condition. Anything less than three hours led to a much slower improvement. I wonder if there will be significant side-effects. On the same day, Palo Alto Daily had a health report on patches too and oh my, there are so many different kinds of patches that I did not know of - Alzheimer's, depression, and motion sickness.

These stick-on solutions are convenient but just like oral pills, there can be side-effects too. When you use them, be sure to have a controlled dosage and usage.

Hahahh...and hoobie thought a caffeine patch will not have side-effects compared to a caffeine pill. I must tell him now "....he is wrong!"
