摘要:
An electrotransport device (10) for transdermal delivery of an agent through a body surface has a donor reservoir (16) which contains a compound formed of the agent and a transdermal permeation enhancer, the compound being able to dissociate into an agent ion and an enhancer counter ion. Methods of enhancing transdermal electrotransport drug delivery and methods of forming a composition exhibiting enhanced transdermal electrotransport drug delivery are also provided.
摘要:
A dosage form that coadministers a drug and a percutaneous absorption enhancer to a defined area of the skin. The dosage form comprises a body that contains supplies of drug and enhancer and has a basal surface that contacts the area of skin and transmits the drug and enhancer to the area for absorption thereby. The drug is provided to the basal surface at a rate at least as great as the rate at which the skin is able to absorb the drug whereas the enhancer is via a rate controlling means at a substantially constant rate that increases the permeability of the treated area of skin to the drug to a level at which the drug is absorbed a therapeutically effective rate.

The invention is directed to a composition and product for use in an electrotransport device. The composition includes an ionized drug, an anti-inflammatory agent and a solvent. Preferably, the anti-inflammatory agent is hydrocortisone or esters thereof, and the solvent is an alcohol, a glycol, a glycerol, a cyclodextrin, a nonionic surfactant or mixtures thereof. The composition preferably further includes a gel matrix that is a swellable, hydrophilic polymer, a water soluble hydrophilic polymer or a solid polymer. A hydrophobic polymer and/or additives may also be included.
摘要:
This invention pertains to a sustained release delivery device for delivering a beneficial agent into the oral cavity of a patient. More particularly, the invention relates to a device comprising about 0.1% to about 20% by weight beneficial agent, about 40% to about 95% by weight ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of about 4% to about 80% and about 1% to about 60% by weight polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
摘要:
A transdermal therapeutic system using a subsaturated matrix is provided having improved approved release characteristics. Reinforcing means preferably in the form of a fabric are embedded in the upper surface of the subsaturated matrix. At least a portion of the reinforcing means is selected such that the active agent to be delivered to the skin has a solubility, C.sub.r therein which is lower than the initial solubility C.sub.o of the agent in the matrix. In addition, the relationship between the diffusion coefficients of the agent in the matrix D.sub.m and the portion of reinforcing means D.sub.r and the solubilities is given by the relationship: D.sub.r .multidot.C.sub.r

摘要:
Composition of matter for application to a body surface or membrane to administer fluoxetine by permeation through the body surface or membrane, the composition comprising fluoxetine to be administered, at a therapeutically effective rate, alone or in combination with a permeation enhancer or mixture. A preferred embodiment is directed to the transdermal administration of fluoxetine at reduced skin irritation levels wherein fluoxetine, preferably provided as fluoxetine acetate, is coadministered with a corticosteroid such as hydrocortisone. Also disclosed are drug delivery devices containing the fluoxetine or fluoxetine and enhancer composition and methods for the transdermal administration of the fluoxetine and fluoxetine/enhancer composition.

The invention is directed to a composition and product for use in an electrotransport device. The composition includes an ionized drug, an anti-inflammatory agent and a solvent. Preferably, the anti-inflammatory agent is hydrocortisone or esters thereof, and the solvent is water and a material such as an alcohol, a glycol, a glycerol, a cyclodextrin, a nonionic surfactant and/or mixtures thereof.
摘要:
A device for the transdermal administration of a drug to a sensitive body area such as the scrotum. Devices according to the invention provide an improved quality of adhesion to the body area while also providing patient comfort during use and upon removal of the device. Also disclosed are methods of transdermal delivery such as the transcrotal delivery of testosterone to hypogonadic males.
摘要:
Composition of matter for application to a body surface or membrane to administer pergolide by permeation through the body surface or membrane, the composition comprising pergolide to be administered, at a therapeutically effective rate, alone or in combination with a permeation enhancer or mixture. Also disclosed are drug delivery devices containing the pergolide or pergolide and enhancer composition and methods for the transdermal administration of the pergolide and pergolide/enhancer composition.
