Enhanced Drug Delivery from Adhesives

摘要

Various adhesive compositions are described which comprise one or more active agents such as pharmaceutical agents. The adhesive compositions exhibit enhanced release characteristics. The incorporation of one or more absorbents in particular proportions and/or in conjunction with certain components improves release and release characteristics of active(s). Also described are related methods of improving release of biologically active agents from adhesives and related methods of use of the compositions and articles using such compositions.

主权项

1. A method of releasing at least one active agent to a region of interest on biological skin, the method comprising:
providing an article adapted for placement along biological skin, the article defining at least one face; providing an adhesive composition including an adhesive component, 0.1% to 50% of at least one absorbent, and 0.1% to 20% of at least one active agent; depositing the adhesive composition onto the face of the article; applying the article to a region of interest on biological skin, whereby the adhesive composition is directed toward and overlies the region of interest.
