TRANSDERMAL APPLICATION OF ACTIVE AGENTS DIRECTLY VIA THE CAROTID ARTERY OR VIA SUPERFICIAL BRANCHES OF THE ILIAC OR SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES, AND A SUITABLE TRANSDERMAL THERAPEUTIC SYSTEM THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to the transdermal application of active agents in the region of the carotid artery or the superficial branches of the iliac or subclavian arteries. Narrow and/or ribbon-type transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS), which are adapted to the course of the carotid artery and the superficial branches of the iliac or subclavian arteries, are particularly suitable for said application. The aim of this type of application is to ensure that active agents selectively reach the corresponding target tissue or areas to be treated as quickly as possible. The invention also relates to the use of the TTS for medical application in various indications.
