Abstract:
Pharmaceutical hydrogel formulations containing polyvinyl alcohol are provided. The formulations may serve as rug reservoirs in electrotransport drug delivery systems or passive transdermal systems, or they may be used in a variety of other types of dosage forms, e. g. , capsules, suppositories, aerosols, and the like. With these formulations, there is virtually no syneresis encountered upon long term storage, an advantage that derives from selecting the quantity of polyvinyl alcohol in the gel to correspond to the polymer's degree of hydrolysis.

Abstract:
A transdermal electrotransport drug delivery device having an anode, a cathode and a source of electrical power electrically connected to the anode and the cathode. The cathode includes a cathodic electrode and a cathodic reservoir comprised of a housing composed of a polymeric material and an aqueous medium in contact with the housing. The aqueous medium includes i) a drug or an electrolyte salt or a mixture thereof and ii) a cetylpyridinium salt in an amount sufficient to inhibit microbial growth in the aqueous medium. The polymeric material is compatible with the cetylpyridinium salt. A process is also provided wherein when electric current flows from the source of electrical power so that the drug is transdermally delivered to the patient by electrotransport from the anodic reservoir, the cetylpyridinium salt is not transdermally delivered to the patient by electrotransport from the cathodic reservoir. A process for preparing a transdermal electrotransport drug delivery device is also provided.
