Abstract: Provided is a donepezil-containing transdermal absorption formulation that can sustainably administer donepezil for a long period of time, and can provide both a rapid increase in the blood level of donepezil and donepezil sustained release properties. The donepezil-containing transdermal absorption formulation is a transdermal absorption formulation produced by dissolving donepezil, which is the active ingredient, in an adhesive patch base that contains a hydrophobic polymer and an absorption promoter. The absorption promoter is one kind or two or more kinds selected from lauryl alcohol, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate, cetyl lactate, oleyl alcohol, sorbitan monooleate, polyethylene glycol monostearate, lauromacrogol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and triacetin.

Abstract: Patch preparations for percutaneous adsorption with the use of supports showing appropriate strength as a patch support, which are excellent in drug barrier characteristics, compatibility with the skin, ODT effects and handling characteristics and can sustain these specific properties in a stable state over a prolonged period of time, thus ensuring good percutaneous absorption of drugs. In these patch preparation, use is made as the support of polyester film/nonwoven vinylon fabric laminates showing an elongation percentage of at least 5% and a tensile cutting load of at least 0.5 kg/10 mm, when measured by the test method specified in JIS K6732. In particular, the thickness of the polyester film constituting the laminate supports ranges from 1.5 to 6.0 &mgr;m and the unit weight of the nonwoven vinylon fabric ranges from 3 to 12 g/m2.
