  • Publication number: 20110243998
    Abstract: The invention provides a patch preparation containing (a) a support and (b) an adhesive layer containing a drug on the surface of the support, wherein a crystal of the drug is formed in the adhesive layer immediately after application of a physical stimulation to the adhesive layer, while a crystal of the drug is formed during preservation after the physical stimulation. The patch preparation which does not require an increase in the area and thickness of an adhesive layer, achieves a sufficiently high skin permeation amount of the drug, shows good adhesiveness to skin, and permits a long-term adhesion to skin. The invention also provides a method of producing the patch preparation.

  • Publication number: 20090169604
    Abstract: In the adhesive pharmaceutical preparation of the invention containing bisoprolol, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is laminated on one side of the backing. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains a branched monoalcohol having from 12 to 28 carbon atoms, a free base of bisoprolol and a polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive. Accordingly, compatibility of the polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive with the free base of bisoprolol can be specifically increased. As a result, not only it becomes possible to increase blending amount of the free base of bisoprolol but also bleed of the free base of bisoprolol from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be suppressed and, what is more, the pressure-sensitive adhesion characteristics sufficient from the practical point of view can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20090169603
    Abstract: In the adhesive pharmaceutical preparation of the invention, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is laminated on one side of the backing. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains a branched monoalcohol having from 12 to 28 carbon atoms, a drug which is liquid at room temperature or around room temperature (in which, free base of bisoprolol is excluded) and a polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive. Accordingly, compatibility of the polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive with the drug can be specifically increased. As a result, not only it becomes possible to increase blending amount of the drug but also bleed of the drug from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be suppressed and, what is more, the pressure-sensitive adhesion characteristics sufficient from the practical point of view can be obtained.
