Transdermal administration of amines with minimal irritation and high transdermal flux rate

摘要

An effective amount of a skin irritating physiologically active amine can be transdermally or topically administered in a minimally or nonirritating composition that maintains a suitably high transdermal flux rate, by providing the amine as a minimally or nonirritating salt of a stoichiometric molar excess of a fatty acid of from 8 to 20 or 22 carbon atoms, in a nonpolar, nonvolatile solvent.
