The drug delivery system may comprise a transdermal patch loaded with the pharmaceutical agent. The patch may include a porous membrane and an outer impermeable cover defining a cavity therebetween. A plurality of drug delivery layers may be disposed between the porous membrane and the impermeable cover. A lipophilic/hydrophilic suspension may be disposed between the drug delivery layers.
