EXTENDED-RELEASE BETA AGONIST/STEROID TRANSDERMAL PATCHES AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

Extended-release beta agonist/steroidal transdermal patches are provided. Transdermal patches of embodiments of the invention have an adhesive matrix which includes both a beta agonist, e.g., tulobuterol, and steroid, e.g., dexamethasone, where the matrix is configured to be storage-stable and provide for extended release of the beta agonist and steroid. Aspects of the invention further include methods of using the transdermal patches, e.g., in the treatment of pulmonary conditions, such as asthma.
