Claim:
A percutaneous absorption type patch adapted to be applied to a skin surface of a patient, comprising: a stratum-corneum release member constituted from a sheet-like first supporting substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer laminated on the first supporting member, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a function of removing an old stratum corneum from the skin surface of the patient; a medicinal-components administration member constituted from a sheet-like second supporting substrate, a medicinal-components retention layer laminated on the second supporting substrate, and a protect layer laminated on the medicinal-components retention layer, wherein the medicinal-components retention layer includes medicinal components, the protect layer has a function of protecting the medicinal-components retention layer, and the protect layer is capable of peeling from the medicinal-components retention layer; and a sheet-like handling member interposed the stratum-corneum release member and the medicinal-components administration member, the handling member being adapted to be operated to an operating direction, and the handling member having an edge portion at a side thereof which is opposite to the operating direction; wherein the edge portion of the handling member is coupled to or integrated with both the first supporting substrate and the protect layer, and wherein operations of peeling the stratum-corneum release member from the skin surface of the patient and peeling the protect layer from the medicinal-components retention layer are carried out at a time by pulling the handling member toward the operating direction.
