Abstract: Compositions and methods for preventing ovulation in a woman are provided, as well as compositions and methods for female hormone replacement therapy. The compositions can be administered by the use of a transdermal patch. The patch will administer 17-deacetyl norgestimate alone or in combination with an estrogen such as ethinyl estradiol to women.

Abstract: High capacity drug reservoirs are provided for incorporation into transdermal drug delivery systems. The drug reservoirs are hydrogels formulated from polyurethanes crosslinked with diisocyanate crosslinking agents or cured with radiation in the presence of a photoinitator. Drug loading as high as 65 to 70 wt. % or higher can be achieved by absorbing drug formulation into the reservoir after hydrogel synthesis. Methods for making and using transdermal systems containing such reservoirs are provided as well.

Abstract: Transdermal administration of olanzapine and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof is described. The method involves treating an individual suffering from or susceptible to psychosis, acute mania or mild anxiety states, particularly those afflicted with schizophrenia or schizophreniform illnesses, by administering olanzapine or a salt thereof through the skin or mucosal tissue, for a time period and at an administration rate effective to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems for administering olanzapine are provided as well.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for preventing ovulation in a woman are provided, as well as compositions and methods for female hormone replacement therapy. The compositions can be administered by the use of a transdermal patch. The patch will administer 17-deacetyl norgestimate alone or in combination with an estrogen such as ethinyl estradiol to women via an adhesive matrix of a silicone and/or polyisobutylene.

Abstract: A combination permeation enhancer for increasing the permeability of skin to sex steroids such as estrogens and progestogens comprising a polyhydric thioalcohol of 2 to 6 carbon atoms having at least one mercapto group and at least one hydroxy group and an aliphatic carboxylic acid of 8 to 24 carbon atoms or an ester thereof.
