A caffeine patch is a type of a transdermal patch designed to deliver caffeine to the body through the skin. The concept is similar to that of a nicotine patch.[1][2][3][4][5]
Caffeine is a stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is mainly used recreationally to increase alertness in beverage form. Caffeine's structure is similar to that of adenosine, a naturally occurring molecule that has many physiologic effects on the body.[6] Due to caffeine's popularity as the world's most consumed drug, it has been altered to several forms for use such as beverages, pills, and patches.[7]
