International ClassA61F 013/02Foreign Application Priority Data1987-03-31 JPAbstractA percutaneous-administration-type pharmaceutical preparation of nitroglycerin comprising a backing that is impervious to medicines, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that is disposed on one surface of the backing, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer in the concentration of 80-95% by weight and the nitroglycerin in the concentration of 5-20% by weight, said copolymer contains as major copolymer components alkyl (meth)acrylate with alkyl groups having 6 or more carbon atoms, which alkyl (meth)acrylates include 2-ethylhexylmethacrylate in the concentration of 40-90% by weight based on the total weight of said alkyl (meth)acrylates, and the copolymer has a rolling ball tack value of 2 or less. The preparation obtained makes it possible for nitroglycerin to be absorbed percutaneously at a controlled rate for long periods of time.Other References
