摘要:
A formulation for transdermal or transmucosal administration of an active agent. The formulation includes an active agent and a delivery vehicle comprising a C2 to C4 alkanol, a polyalcohol, and a permeation enhancer of monoalkyl ether of diethylene glycol present in an amount sufficient to provide permeation enhancement of the active agent through dermal or mucosal surfaces. The formulation is substantially free of long-chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty esters in order to avoid undesirable odor and irritation effects caused by such compounds during use of the formulation. Also, the active agent is testosterone that is present in an amount of about 1%, the alkanol is ethanol that is present in an amount of about 46.28% to about 47.5% of the formulation; the polyalcohol is propylene glycol that is present in an amount of about 6% of the formulation; and the permeation enhancer is diethylene glycol monoethyl ether that is present in an amount of about 5% of the formulation.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to formulations for transdermal or transmucosal administration of an active agent. The invention is a substantially malodorous-free and irritation free transdermal formulation which is substantially free of long chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty esters.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to formulations for transdermal or transmucosal administration of an active agent such as estradiol. The invention is a substantially malodorous-free and irritation free transdermal formulation which is substantially free of long chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty esters.

Methods, formulations, and devices for providing transdermal or transmucosal delivery of active agents to subjects in need thereof. The formulations and methods treat symptoms of hormonal disorders including hypogonadism, female sexual desire disorder, female menopausal disorder, and adrenal insufficiency.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to methods for treating hot flashes by administering formulations for transdermal or transmucosal administration of estrogen. The formulations of the invention are effective at treating hot flashes at surprisingly low daily doses, preferably the lowest effective dose of estrogen to treat hot flashes, e.g., about 0.45 to about 0.6 mg of estrogen per day. The amount of estrogen which is administered produces an estimated nominal daily estrogen dose in a subject undergoing treatment of from about 10 to about 15 micrograms, and a serum estradiol level of between about 25 pg/ml to about 50 pg/ml. The preferred formulations are substantially free of malodorous, and irritation causing long-chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty esters.
