  • Publication number: 20160317465
    Abstract: A cover material-equipped patch comprising: a patch; and a cover material, wherein the patch comprises a support layer and a drug reservoir layer which is stacked on one surface of the support layer and which contains a drug and a drug reservoir base agent, the cover material comprises a cover layer and an adhesive layer which is stacked on one surface of the cover layer and which contains an adhesive base agent, the patch and the cover material are arranged in such a manner that the adhesive layer is stacked on another surface of the support layer, and a solubility parameter (SPa) of the drug, a solubility parameter (SPb) of the drug reservoir base agent, and a solubility parameter (SPc) of the adhesive base agent simultaneously satisfy conditions represented by the following formulae (1) to (3): 0?|SPa?SPb|?1.5??(1), 2.0?(SPa?SPc)?2.8??(2), and 1.0?(SPb?SPc)?2.8??(3).

  • Publication number: 20090175929
    Abstract: Disclosed is a donepezil-containing transdermally absorbable preparation which develops reduced adverse side effects and shows a satisfactory level of therapeutic effect. The preparation comprises an adhesive and a donepezil component (containing crystalline donepezil having type-B crystal polymorphism) and/or a salt thereof, wherein the donepezil component or the salt thereof is contained in an amount of 9 to 50% by mass relative to the total weight of the adhesive. The preparation (particularly, one having a non-aqueous adhesive layer) shows an excellent penetration of donepezil and/or a salt thereof into the skin, retains good stability of the active ingredient therein, and is remarkably reduced in local stimulation and adverse side effects.

  • Publication number: 20080138388
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a transdermal absorption patch which is highly excellent in transdermal absorption properties and long-lasting drug effect even in the case where a drug-effect component contained in the transdermal absorption patch is a basic drug hardly soluble in a pressure-sensitive adhesive base, has a high stability of the drug contained therein with the passage of time and can achieve improvement in the compliance and simplification of the administration method. These problems can be solved by providing a transdermal absorption patch which contains a basic drug having an octanol/water partition coefficient (logarithm) in the free state of 3 or above, a pressure-sensitive adhesive base and a (meth)acrylic copolymer having carboxyl group.
