The present invention provides an external preparation composition comprising lactic acid salt of lidocaine consisting of lidocaine and a lactic acid ingredient and diclofenac or a salt thereof wherein the lactic acid ingredient is lactic acid and an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt of lactic acid, and an external preparation which exhibits higher transdermal absorbability of both lidocaine and diclofenac and the skin permeability suitable for clinical use, and enhances the storage stability and safety of the preparation to allow the long-term storage.

The present invention provides a patch for attaching to teeth or a surrounding part of teeth, and the patch can be easily removed by tooth brushing alone.

There is provided a plastic material comprising at least one cannabinoid embedded within a structural polymer, wherein the plastic material is formulated to exude the at least one cannabinoid through an outer surface of the plastic material at a therapeutically effective rate for a period of at least a week or at least a month. The plastic material may comprise a liquid-absorbent material embedded within the structural polymer and a carrier oil absorbed into the liquid-absorbent material, wherein at least one cannabinoid is dissolved in the carrier oil.

A transdermal delivery system for systemic delivery of donepezil is described, where the system comprises an adhesive matrix drug reservoir layer comprised of a copolymer of acrylic acid/vinyl acetate, triethyl citrate, and donepezil base generated in situ by reaction of donepezil HCl and an alkaline salt. The system is provided for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and achieves transdermal delivery of the therapeutic agent at steady state that is bioequivalent to administration of the therapeutic agent orally.

Compositions and methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of chronic wounds, including, without limitation, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers, by transdermal delivery of an agent that increases activity of HIF-1α in the wound.

The present invention provides a composition for external application comprising baclofen or a salt thereof, specifically baclofen hydrochloride with high transdermal absorbability and stability, and a method of stabilizing a preparation comprising baclofen or a salt thereof.

Provided is a transdermal absorption preparation that shows superior skin permeability of a drug and that does not easily cause cold flow. A transdermal absorption preparation having a drug-containing layer containing a drug and a polymer, wherein 50-100 wt % of the polymer in the drug-containing layer is a polymer having a glass transition temperature of 30° C.-200° C., and the drug in the drug-containing layer is in an amorphous state.

The present invention provides an aqueous patch which can stably contain only one of an S-enantiomer and an R-enantiomer of a drug capable of being present in such enantiomers at a relatively high concentration over a long period of time, has the excellent adhesive property and the excellent shape retaining property, and achieves high skin permeability of the drug. Specifically, the present invention provides an aqueous patch containing only one of enantiomers of a drug as an active ingredient in a pasty preparation.

The present invention relates to a transdermal device including porous microparticles capable of containing an active principle, in particular nicotine, and to the use thereof as a drug, in particular for tobacco cessation. The present invention further relates to a method for preparing a transdermal device including porous microparticles filled with an active principle.

The present invention provides a composition for a non-aqueous patch preparation having an excellent adhesibility which can sustainedly release a drug. The patch preparation of the present invention can improve the adhesibility thereof as well as the release property of a drug by the addition of powder ingredient (e.g. a filler). As a result, the long-time sustention of the adhesibility of patch preparations can achieve the improvement of the transdermal absorbability and the sustained release of a drug. By the use of a composition for a patch preparation comprising this powder ingredient, a drug, regardless of the type of a drug is dissolved in an organic solvent or an ionic liquid to prepare a drug solution comprising the organic solvent, the drug solution is incorporated into the non-aqueous patch preparation of the present invention, and thereby a preparation with the improved transdermal-absorbability and sustained release can prepared.
