  • Patent number: 11903939
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a patch preparation having features that prevent accidental use. In some embodiments, a patch preparation containing a plaster on a support, wherein the plaster comprises a solvent that is a combination of ethyl acetate and n-heptane. The patch preparation can lose its adhesion after the plaster is exposed to air and at least some of the solvent has evaporated, or if the patch is removed from the skin. This feature prevent the used patch from being applied to the skin again, and can prevent accidental use. A method of forming a patch preparation is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10045948
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a nonaqueous tape that is stable and has high percutaneous absorption performance, and that contains pramipexole hydrochloride, which is slightly soluble in organic solvents and has high crystallinity. The present invention could produce a nonaqueous tape that is stable and has high percutaneous absorption performance by dissolving pramipexole, using a combination of a fatty acid ionic liquid and a divalent alcohol and a fatty acid ester. As a result, it has become possible to provide a transdermal patch (tape) containing pramipexole for the treatment of Parkinson's disease with which the problems associated with a conventional water-containing poultice of discoloration of the preparation and stability of the pramipexole can be solved.
