PATCH PREPARATIONS FOR PERCUTANEOUS ABSORPTION

摘要

Patch preparations for percutaneous absorption with the use of supports showing an appropriate strength as a patch support, which are excellent in drug barrier characteristics, compatibility with the skin, ODT effects and handling characteristics and can sustain these specific properties in a stable state over a prolonged period of time, thus ensuring good percutaneous absorption of drugs. In these patch preparation, use is made as the support of polyester film/nonwoven vinylon fabric laminates showing an elongation percentage of at least 5 % and a tensile cutting load of at least 0.5 kg/10 mm, when measured by the test method specified in JIS K6732. In particular, the thickness of the polyester film constituting the laminate supports ranges from 1.5 to 6.0 mu m and the unit weight of the nonwoven vinylon fabric ranges from 3 to 12 g/m<2>.
