Abstract

A method of percutaneously administering a physiologically active agent which comprises applying to the skin of a mammal a physiologically active agent in a carrier system which comprises at least one adjuvant and at least one solvent. The adjuvant can be selected from aliphatic hydrocarbons, halogen substituted aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohol esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids, mono- or di-ethers, ketones, or mixtures thereof. The solvent can be selected from thioglycerols, lactic acid and esters thereof, cyclic ureas, compounds represented by the general formula R1 R2 NCONR3 R4, pyrrolidone-type compounds, amides, lactones or mixtures thereof.
