<p>The present invention relates to a percutaneous preparation containing donepezil as an active ingredient for treatment of dementia. More specifically, the percutaneous preparation comprising donepezil as the active ingredient consists of a matrix layer containing drugs, a support layer for protecting the drugs, and a release layer. The matrix layer containing drugs comprises: donepezil or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as the active ingredient; polyethylene vinyl acetate adhesives including rosin ester resin as a polymer substrate; and a penetration enhancer mixture of at least two kinds selected from the group consisting of pyrrolidone derivatives, C8-18 aliphatic derivatives, triacetin and triethyl citrate. The disclosed percutaneous preparation can increase dementia patient administration compliance and minimize side effects when compared with an oral preparation. Additionally, the percutaneous preparation is easily applied to skin and can release the drugs sustainably for a long time. Also, due to high skin-penetration properties, the preparation can replace conventional oral preparations for treatment of dementia.</p> |
