Abstract: Adhesive matrixes for use in administering drugs transdermally in which the adhesive component is a homogenous physical blend of a hydrophilic polymer adhesive and a hydrophobic polymer adhesive. The blends provide enhanced drug flux as compared to adhesive matrixes of either the hydrophobic polymer adhesive or hydrophilic polymer adhesive alone.

Abstract: Method and laminated composite for administering short or intermediate half-life benzodiazepines such as alprazolam or triazolam transdermally to treat conditions such as anxiety in the case of alprazolam and insomnia in the case of triazolam. The composite comprises an impermeable backing layer and a reservoir layer containing the benzodiazepine and a permeation enhancer combined with a solvent-based acrylic polymer adhesive with the amounts of benzodiazepine and enhancer being sufficient to cause the benzodiazepine to pass through the skin at a rate in excess of about one .mu.g/cm.sup.2 /hr.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided which increase the permeability of skin to transdermally administered pharmacologically active agents. The compositions are formulated with one or more vegetable oils as skin permeation enhancers; a preferred composition contains both coconut oil and soybean oil. Drug delivery systems for administering drugs transdermally in combination with the vegetable oil-based enhancer compositions are provided as well.

Abstract: Method and laminated composite for administering short or intermediate half-life benzodiazepines such as alprazolamine or triazolam transdermally to treat conditions such as anxiety in the case of alprazolam and insomnia in the case of triazolam. The composite comprises an impermeable backing layer and a reservoir layer containing the benzodiazepine and a permeation enhancer combined with a solvent-based acrylic polymer adhesive with the amounts of benzodiazepine and enhancer being sufficient to cause the benzodiazepine to pass through the skin at a rate in excess of about one .mu.g/cm.sup.2 /hr.

Abstract: Method and laminated composite for administering buprenorphine transdermally to treat pain. The composite comprises an impermeable backing layer and a reservoir layer containing buprenorphine and optionally a permeation enhancer combined with a pressure-sensitive adhesive with the amounts of buprenorphine and optional enhancer being sufficient to cause the buprenorphine to pass through the skin at a rate in excess of about 0.05 mcg/cm.sup.2 /hr.
