Popis: The permeation of nicotine through human epidermis in vitro, membranes, adhesives, an adhesive-membrane laminate, and the laminate with epidermis was measured. Skin irritation in rabbits was shown to depend on the driving force of nicotine in the donor phase. A transdermal nicotine system is described that provides substantial control of nicotine entry through skin by a rate-controlling membrane.
