Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions are provided for administration of rotigotine in depot form. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can provide therapeutically significant plasma levels of rotigotine over a period of at least 24 hours after administration to a patient. Preferred pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include oily suspensions that contain rotigotine in solid form as well as anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions that comprise rotigotine.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel pharmaceutical compositions for the systemic administration of pharmacologically active ingredients. The invention relates in particular to an injectable pharmaceutical composition comprising (a) a pharmacologically active ingredient in a solid phase, (b) a vehicle consisting substantially of polyol fatty acid esters with a degree of esterification of over 80%, and (c) a wetting agent consisting substantially of polyol fatty acid esters with a monoester proportion of over 60%. The inventive composition is used for the systemic administration of numerous pharmacologically active ingredients, whereby the ingredients are released from the pharmaceutical composition over a period of at least 12, preferably at least 24 hours.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for administering the dopamine agonist N-0923 in depot form. The invention makes available for the first time a depot form of N-0923, which achieves a therapeutically significant plasma level over a period of at least 24 hours after administration to a patient. As a result of poor oral bio-availability and the short plasma half-life, N-0923 was previously administered either by an intravenous drip or by transdermal systems. Preferred embodiments of said invention are oily suspensions, containing the active ingredient N-0923 in a solid phase, in addition to anhydrous pharmaceutical preparations of N-0923.

Abstract: A transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) for transcutaneous administration of oxybutynin over a period of several days, in addition to a method for the production of the TTS without the use of solvents, are disclosed. The TTS contains a matrix mass containing oxybutynin in the form of a self-adhesive layer. The matrix mass includes ammonium-group-containing (meth)acrylic polymers, at least one citric acid ester, and 5-25 wt. % oxybutynin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) for the transcutaneous administration of pergolide over several days and to a method for its manufacture without using solvents. The TTS contains a matrix mass, containing pergolide and taking the form of a layer, which contains a (meth)acrylate copolymer containing ammonio groups or a mixture of a (meth)acrylate copolymer containing amino groups and a (meth)acrylate polymer containing carboxyl groups, 10-50% by weight propylene glycol and up to 5% by weight pergolide.
