Multi-Layer Drug-In-Adhesive Transdermal Patch Development

A multi-layer drug-in-adhesive transdermal patch is a transdermal delivery system where multiple layers are utilized to achieve specific therapeutic goals. Developing multi-layer drug-in-adhesive transdermal patches requires expertise in formulation science, adhesive technology, controlled release mechanisms, manufacturing processes, analytical methods, and regulatory affairs. With expertise in formulation science, adhesive technology, and controlled release mechanisms, CD Formulation provides cutting-edge development services for multi-layer drug-in-adhesive transdermal patches.

What is a Multi-Layer Drug-In-Adhesive Transdermal Patch?

Multilayer drug-containing adhesive patches bear resemblance to monolayer systems. Multilayer medicated adhesive patches contain multiple drug layers, each containing a different drug or different concentrations of the same drug. Each drug layer may have its release rate or mechanism, allowing for controlled delivery of multiple drugs or varied release profiles. Adhesive Layers between the drug layers and the backing layer that adhere the patch to the skin, these layers may also serve as reservoirs for the drugs and control the rate of drug release.

Advantages of Multi-Layer Drug-In-Adhesive Transdermal Patches

• Combination Therapy: Delivers multiple drugs concurrently, optimizing the treatment of conditions requiring synergistic or multi-symptom management.
• Tailored Release Profiles: Customizable release profiles enhance therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects.
• Patient Compliance: Simplifies dosing regimens by combining several medications into a single patch, improving patient convenience and adherence.

Our Multi-Layer Drug-In-Adhesive Transdermal Patch Development

Layer-Specific Formulation

We can develop formulations for each drug layer, optimizing drug solubility, release kinetics, and interactions between layers.

Layer Design

Design the patch with multiple layers, each containing a specific drug or drug combination with tailored release profiles.

Precision Layering

Employ manufacturing techniques like solvent casting, hot melt coating, or extrusion to accurately layer drug formulations and adhesives onto the backing material.
