Right OPTION is (d) Drugs against peptic ulcer

The explanation is: Transdermal DELIVERY SYSTEMS are topically administered medications. Drugs with very short half-live example nitro-glycerine are administered as transdermal patches. Drugs with narrow THERAPEUTIC indices can be safely administered through transdermal patches. Problems for ORAL administration are not seen here.
