Ketoprofen-containing aqueous adhesive skin patch
Provided is a water-based patch that contains ketoprofen as an active ingredient, provides high transdermal absorbability of the ketoprofen, and has high safety and high storage stability. The water-based patch contains the ketoprofen, an amine, and polyethylene glycol. In the water-based patch, the added amount of the ketoprofen in a paste is 0.1 to 5% by weight, the added amount of the amine in the paste is 0.5 to 10% by weight, and the added amount of the polyethylene glycol in the paste is 5 to 30% by weight. Particularly, in the water-based patch, diisopropanolamine is used as the amine.
1. A water-based patch comprising an adhesive paste comprising
a ketoprofen, an amine as a solubilizing agent for the ketoprofen,
polyethylene glycol as an esterification inhibitor for the ketoprofen,
cross-linking agent, and
polyacrylic acid and/or salt thereof,
wherein the amount of ketoprofen in the adhesive paste is 0.1 to 5% by weight, the amount of the amine in the adhesive paste is 0.5 to 10% by weight, the amount of the polyethylene glycol in the adhesive paste is 5 to 30% by weight, the amount of the cross-linking agent in the adhesive paste is 0.01 to 5% by weight, and the amount of polyacrylic acid and/or salt thereof in the adhesive paste is 1 to 3 0% by weight,
wherein the adhesive paste is prepared by the steps of: (1) solubilizing the ketoprofen in the amine to form a solubilized ketoprofen, (2) preparing a hydrated gel comprising the polyethylene glycol, cross-linking agent and polyacrylic acid and/or salt thereof in water, and (3) mixing the solubilized ketoprofen into the hydrated gel uniformly to generate a paste.
2. The water-based patch according to claim 1 , wherein the amine is diisopropanolamine and the cross-linking agent is dihydroxyaluminum aminoacetate.
3. The water-based patch according to claim 1 , wherein diisopropanolamine is used as the amine.
