  • Publication number: 20090220580
    Abstract: The present invention provides a percutaneous absorption formulation including a patch having an adhesive layer disposed on a substrate and the adhesive layer contains ketotifen fumarate and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, and the patch is packaged in a hygroscopic packaging material. In the percutaneous absorption formulation, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane particularly selected from various basic substances is incorporated, and by packaging the patch in a hygroscopic packaging material, the percutaneous absorptivity and content stability of a drug can be simultaneously improved and the yellowing of the drug can be suppressed. These effects can be further improved by the incorporation of propyl gallate, the use of an adhesive layer including an SIS-based adhesive base and a rosin ester-based adhesion imparting resin, and/or the removal of oxygen from the atmosphere in the inside of the packaging material.

  • Publication number: 20050041888
    Abstract: A storage section 18, a communicating section 22, an openable section 20, and a discharged section are provided. Regions of container walls 12a (12b) that form an opening 21 to be formed by tearing the openable section 20 are approchable each other, and regions of the container walls 12a (12b) that form the communicating section 22 are approchable each other. When the regions of the container walls 12a (12b) that form the opening 21 are separated from each other over the entire width thereof, the regions of the container walls 12a (12b) that form the communicating section 22 can be separated from each other. Seal sheets 28a (28b) are respectively joined to the regions of the container walls 12a (12b) that form the communicating section 22. The seal sheets 28a (28b) are opposite each other and extend toward the storage section 18.
