FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: the suggested transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) includes adhesive matrix that contains biologically active substance - rotigotin. The adhesive matrix contains thermofusible contact glue, the latter consists of contact glue, the mixture of different contact glues or contact glue with a plastifier and at 160°C is of dynamic viscosity being 100 Pa·sec, not more. TTS has been obtained due to hot fusion technique: before stratifying the adhesive matrix its components should be fused and homogenized without usage of solvents at 70-200°C. According to the present innovation TTS has got high degree of filling with rotigotin which is released out of thermofusible matrices constantly and at therapeutically desirable rate. Rotigotin in case of carrying out the technique of hot fusion keeps its stability at heating up to 160°C. There is no necessity in applying, removing, regenerating or burning up organic solvents and providing corresponding safety measures during TTS manufacturing.
EFFECT: higher efficiency.
