Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of transdermal drug delivery. More specifically, the present invention relates to drug reservoir materials for use in transdermal drug delivery devices. The drug reservoirs of the present invention comprise a polyurethane polymer which can be processed at temperatures below those which cause degradation of temperature sensitive drugs and/or excipients. The present invention is also directed to tailoring the release characteristics of the polyurethane material to accommodate a range of suitable drugs to be delivered from the transdermal drug delivery device and/or provide a range of delivery rates for a particular drug.
