Many people prefer a transdermal patch because they can put it on in the
morning and forget about it. The ‘Hoodia patch’, like other transdermal
patches, uses a time-released mechanism so that a small amount of the active
ingredient is released into the blood circulation system throughout the day.
If the patch comes off, it must be replaced with another one. Ideally a
person should be able to use one ‘Hoodia patch’ per day, replacing it every
24 hours.
