These compositions are made up of a safe and effective amount of an active pharmaceutical permeant, including hydrophilic salt forms, contained in a novel penetration-enhancing vehicle comprising, (i) 1-95% w. of a cell-envelope disordering compound selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, oleyl alcohol, glycerol monoleate, glycerol dioleate, glycerol trioleate and mixtures thereof, (ii) 5-75% w., and preferably 5-49% w., of a lower alkanol selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propanol and isopropanol and mixtures thereof and (iii) 0-45% w., and preferably 1-45% w., of an inert diluent which, according to properties of the permeant used, may range from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Water, polyethylene or polypropylene glycols and mineral oil are exemplary diluents.Other References
