摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for the transdermal administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a synthetic 19-nor-progesterone (ST-1435) together with, optionally, a suitable permeation enhancer.
摘要:
A diffusional drug delivery device is described which can provide for delayed onset of therapeutic effect and for delivery of the therapeutic agent in predetermined temporal patterns at optimum rates. Delay means are provided between the agent reservoir and the surface through which the agent is released by diffusion to delay the release of agent at a therapeutic rate for predetermined times after application. Suitable means include a delay membrane disposed between the releasing surface and the agent reservoir, which membrane is preferably free of undissolved agent and/or is initially impermeable to the agent and thereafter becomes permeable. One or more agent chambers defined by one or more of such membranes may be provided, whereby agents are released in predetermined temporal patterns at optimal release rates. Delayed permeability enables programmed washout periods to be obtained from the sequential and concurrent application of devices for the administration of drugs, such as nitrates, to which patients may develop a tolerance on continuous administration over extended time periods.
摘要:
A method for enhancing the transdermal flux of a transdermally deliverable drug through intact skin is described in which the drug is delivered simultaneously with sucrose monolaurate or a mixture of sucrose esters of coconut fatty acids, which is predominantly sucrose monolaurate. Preferred embodiments of therapeutic systems for delivering the drug and the sucrose ester employ a matrix containing drug at a concentration above saturation.

摘要:
A high flux transdermal nitroglycerin therapeutic system is disclosed which is capable of delivering nitroglycerin through intact human skin at rates of 40 .mu.g/cm.sup.2 hr and preferably in the range of 50-150 .mu.g/cm.sup.2 hr. Ethanol delivered at a rate of from 250-500 .mu.g/cm.sup.2 hr is employed as a permeation enhancer for the nitroglycerin and a rate controlling membrane formed from ethylene vinyl acetate having a vinyl acetate content greater than 11% and preferably between 12-18% provides the appropriate rate control for both the drug and the permeation enhancer. This system is suitable for use in treatment of angina pectoris and congestive heart failure.
