Abstract: A preparation for transdermal drug administration comprising a flexible backing layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a local anesthetic in a proportion of 40-65 weight %. Since the ratio of the amount of the undissolved local anesthetic (Ac) to that of the dissolved local anesthetic (As), Ac/As, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is determined to be in the range of 0.1-1.8, the preparation for transdermal drug administration of the present invention is superior in self-adhesiveness and leaves no adhesive material upon removal from the skin. In addition, burst-like release of the undissolved drug from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer immediately after application to the skin permits rapid appearance of the anesthetic effect, which enables wide clinical application of the preparations of the present invention.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical oil-in-water type microemulsion having an action of potentiating the activities of anti-cancer agents, said micro-emulsion comprisesfine particles of a vegetable oil or a triglyceride of a medium-chain fatty acid having 8 to 12 carbon atoms containing 0.1 to 10% (w/v) of N-solanesyl-N,N'-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)ethylenediamine malate of formula (I) below, ##STR1## an aqueous medium, and 0.05 to 25% (w/v) of a physiologically acceptable phospholipid for dispersing said fine particles in said aqueous medium.
