Abstract: The present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system for cutaneous administration of fampridine. The system includes an active ingredient-impermeable backing layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive reservoir layer and optionally a detachable protective layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive reservoir layer is formed from fampridine and at least one matrix polymer containing no free carboxylic acid and/or carboxylate groups, with the content of fampridine in the matrix polymer being <5% by weight. On account of the low loading and also the lack of carboxylic acid and/or carboxylate groups in the reservoir layer, it is ensured that the systems administer the active ingredient substantially at higher administration rates than is known in the prior art, and compared to known systems a comparable thermodynamic activity of the active ingredient is achieved. The present invention further relates to a process for producing corresponding transdermal therapeutic systems.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in combination with an agonist of 5-HT2B receptors. Such a combination provides protection against the adverse effects caused by agonists of 5-HT2B receptors. The invention further relates to the use of CBD in combination5 with an amphetamine or amphetamine derivative in the treatment of epilepsy. In one embodiment the CBD is used in combination with the amphetamine derivative fenfluramine to produce a significant reduction in seizures. Preferably the CBD used is in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBD is present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. In particular the cannabinoid10 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been substantially removed, to a level of not more than 0.15% (w/w) and the propyl analogue of CBD, cannabidivarin, (CBDV) is present in amounts of up to 1%. Alternatively, the CBD may be a synthetically produced CBD.
