Abstract
Described are flexible, finite systems for the transdermal administration of scopolamine, comprising: (a) a polymer matrix comprising a polymer blend comprising (i) a non-functional acrylic-based polymer constituting at least about 60% by weight of the dry weight of the polymer matrix, and (ii) an amine-resistant capped silicone polymer constituting not more than about 30% by weight of the dry weight of the polymer matrix; and (b) scopolamine solubilized in the polymer matrix, wherein the flexible, finite system is substantially free of vinyl acetate and polar components. In some embodiments, the polymer matrix also comprises a non-polar penetration enhancer. Methods of making and using such flexible, finite systems also are described.
