Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for transdermal administration containing a fatty acid salt, a dicarboxylic acid salt, an alkyl sulfonic acid salt, an aryl sulfonic acid salt, or an alkyl aryl sulfonic acid salt of an unstable active agent, such as bupropion free base or a derivative of burpropion free base, such as bupropion free base or derivative of bupropion free base, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, duloxetine, and metabolites and derivatives thereof are described herein. The composition may also contain one or more antioxidants. The compositions can be prepared by forming the bupropion salt followed by addition of the antioxidant. Alternatively, bupropion can be combined first with the antioxidant followed by addition of the acid to form the salt. The compositions can be administered as a gel, cream, lotion, ointment, or patch and typically contain a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
