Abstract: A transdermal therapeutic system in patch form for the controlled delivery of active substances to the human or animal skin comprises a backing layer, an active substance-containing reservoir attached thereto and a detachable protective layer, is characterized in that the active substance-containing reservoir contains as main components thereof at least one film former as well as at least one polymer which prevents or suppresses the crystallisation of the active substance or active substances.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat and activable drying device for reducing the moisture content of a gas space surrounding said device and to a method for producing a device of this type. The inventive drying device contains a flat matrix with at least one regenerable drying agent.

Abstract: A dermal or transdermal therapeutic system comprising a sheet-like substrate or reservoir containing readily volatile auxiliary agents or active agents, which substrate or reservoir is covered on one of its sides with a backing layer impermeable to the ingredients and on the opposite side with a detachable, likewise impermeable protective layer to prevent loss of ingredients during prolonged storage, is characterized in that both the backing layer and the protective layer are made of plastic film which is on both sides with vapour-deposited metal

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the controlled delivery of nicotine with a contact adhesive nicotine reservoir with uniform or irregular distribution of the nicotine, characterized in that the reservoir is produced using a hot melt contact adhesive with a processing temperature of 40.degree. to 80.degree., preferably 40.degree. to 60.degree. and in particularly preferred manner 40.degree. to 55.degree. C., a process for the production thereof and the use of the apparatus in human or veterinary medicine, particularly for stopping people smoking, or as a respiratory, contact or stomach poison in pest control.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the controlled delivery or release of nitroglycerin to the human or animal skin, preferably in plaster form with a nitroglycerin-impermeable backing layer, a one or multiple-part reservoir containing a pressure sensitive adhesive nitroglycerin in uniform or irregular distribution and optionally a removable protective layer impermeable for nitroglycerin, the reservoir being produced using hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives with a processing temperature of 40.degree. to 80.degree. C., preferably 40.degree. to 60.degree. C. and in particularly preferred manner 40.degree. to 45.degree. C., a process for the production thereof and the use of the apparatus for therapeutic purposes in human and veterinary medicine.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the release or delivery of substances from hot melt contact adhesives with uniform or irregular distribution of the substances, the hot melt contact adhesive having a processing temperature between 40.degree. and 80.degree. C., preferably between 40.degree. and 60.degree. C. and in particularly preferred manner between 40.degree. and 55.degree. C.; a process for the production of this apparatus; as well as the use of this apparatus in human and veterinary medicine, diagnosis or cosmetics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing an administration and/or dosage form for medicament active substances using a printing process, in which the printing process used is a pad printing process.
