Brief Answer:
Microemulsion rotigotine gel is an alternative to skin problems.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back XXXXXXX

Therapeutic blood level of rotigotine is considered above 1.2 ng/ml with a Cmax of 7 ng/ml.

I don't came across any partial curve of 1 mg patch application of neupro, but, regarding to curves, the level approximately after 6 hours should be around 1 ng/ml.

As far as I know, there is developed microemulsion-based rotigotine gel with significant lower skin irritation effects, a good alternative to use by patients that experienced serious skin problems.

I didn't find any information about blood therapeutic levels of nuvigil, oral doses ranges between 50 to 400 mg/day.

Hope I helped.

Take care.
