Abstract:
A modular transdermal drug delivery system is provided, the system including: an upper module in which an outer backing layer is laminated to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that is covered by a removable release liner prior to assembly; and a lower module with a porous drug reservoir layer laminated to a skin-contact adhesive that affixes the system to the skin during drug delivery, where the skin-contact adhesive is, in one embodiment, an adhesive layer that is substantially co-extensive with the porous drug reservoir layer and, prior to use, protected with a second removable release liner. Methods of manufacture and use are also provided, as is an assembled transdermal drug delivery system fabricated by affixing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the upper module to the porous drug reservoir layer of the lower module.

Claim (Index 42):
A group of modular transdermal delivery system components that can be assembled to form a modular transdermal delivery system, the components comprising:\n an upper module comprising an outer backing layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer laminated thereto, and a first removable release liner covering the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; and at least two lower modules each comprising a porous drug reservoir layer capable of adhering to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the upper module and into which a pharmaceutical formulation can be loaded, and a skin-contact adhesive affixed to the drug reservoir layer, wherein the lower modules differ from each other in at least one aspect, and further wherein the upper module can be assembled with any one of the lower modules to provide a laminated transdermal delivery system.
