Abstract: Provided is an adhesive patch capable of exerting excellent tackiness when the adhesive patch is attached to the skin and having a low incidence of detachment from the skin during attachment. The adhesive patch of the present invention includes a support, and an adhesive layer integrally layered on one surface of the support, the adhesive layer containing an acrylic adhesive, a solid resin that is incompatible with the acrylic adhesive and is in a solid state at 40° C., a plasticizer, and a drug. The combined use of the solid resin and the plasticizer can simultaneously achieve the tackiness and cohesive force of the adhesive layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a patch which is a formulation including deposited clonidine crystals and provides stable transdermal absorbability even after storage at varying temperatures. The patch disclosed includes a backing and a medicated layer integrally superposed on one surface of the backing. The medicated layer contains: 5 to 30% by weight of clonidine including clonidine in a crystallized state; 25 to 90% by weight of a macromolecular base (A) having a viscosity-average molecular weight of 800,000 or larger; and 5 to 60% by weight of a liquid additive capable of dissolving the clonidine. The weight ratio of the liquid additive to the macromolecular base (A) [the liquid additive/the macromolecular base (A)] is 0.1 to 2.0.
