Abstract: A method for producing a patch comprising a support layer and an adhesive agent layer arranged on at least one surface of the support layer, the method comprising: step A) obtaining an adhesive agent layer composition comprising free ropinirole in an amount which results in a content of 5 to 13.2% by mass in an obtained adhesive agent layer; step B) heating the adhesive agent layer composition at a temperature in a range from 50 to 76° C. for 5 minutes to 24 hours; and step C) cooling the heated adhesive agent layer composition to normal temperature at an average rate of temperature drop of 1 to 20° C./hour, thereby obtaining the adhesive agent layer comprising the free ropinirole at a supersaturated concentration in a dissolved form.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package is provided. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package accommodates an adhesive tape having a support and an adhesive agent layer provided on one surface of the support, the adhesive tape being bent into a first portion and a second portion such that the adhesive agent layer faces outward. Moreover, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package can include a first release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape, and a second release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer of the second portion of the adhesive tape to seal the adhesive tape with the first release sheet between the first and second release sheets. In this configuration, the conventionally existing package can be eliminated. Moreover, when the second release sheet is removed from the adhesive agent layer of the second portion of the adhesive tape, half of the adhesive agent layer is exposed.

Abstract: A method for producing a patch comprising a support layer and an adhesive agent layer arranged on at least one surface of the support layer, the method comprising: a step A of obtaining an adhesive agent layer composition comprising oxybutynin hydrochloride as a drug, an acrylic-based polymer and/or a rubber-based polymer as an adhesive base agent, liquid paraffin, a sterol, an organic acid, and a tackifier; a step B of heating the adhesive agent layer composition at a temperature in a range from 55 to 70° C. for 1 to 24 hours; and a step C of cooling the heated adhesive agent layer composition to a temperature lower than room temperature at an average rate of temperature drop of 1 to 20° C./hour, thereby obtaining the adhesive agent layer comprising the drug at a supersaturated concentration in a dissolved form.

Abstract: A method for producing a patch having a high skin penetrability and a high pharmaceutical physical properties such as adhesion and cohesiveness, and a long-term storability. The patch is produced by first obtaining an adhesive agent layer composition containing oxybutynin and/or salt thereof as a drug, an acrylic-based polymer and/or a rubber-based polymer as an adhesive base agent, liquid paraffin, an organic acid, and a tackifier; heating the adhesive agent layer composition at a temperature in a range from a melting point of the drug to a temperature higher than the melting point by 10° C. for 2 to 24 hours; and slowly cooling the heated adhesive agent layer composition to obtain the adhesive agent layer comprising the drug at a supersaturated concentration in a dissolved form.

Abstract: A patch permitting division of only its release sheet by simply pulling right and left, wherein detachment of the release sheet is easy. There is provided a patch comprising a stretchable support, a plaster applied substantially all over one major surface of the support and a release sheet attached to the whole surface of the plaster wherein only the release sheet is divided at a division zone by simply pulling right and left, and wherein one or two or more precut parts that open when the patch is pulled right and left are disposed in the neighborhood on the division zone.
