  • Publication number: 20150118309
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for preparing a preparation for percutaneous absorption, which includes rotigotine as an active ingredient, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a preparation for percutaneous absorption including mixing rotigotine and an ethylene-vinyl acetate adhesive so as to have a weight ratio of 1:(0.1 to 20), a preparation for percutaneous absorption manufactured by the method, and a percutaneous treatment system. The preparation and the system may prevent separation of the rotigotine, thereby increasing long-term storage stability, and effectively release the rotigotine, and thus can be effectively applied to preparing patch medication containing the rotigotine.
