Composition

Oesclim transdermal system has the following composition:

OESCLIM patches are made up of a self-adhesive polymer matrix, which contains the estradiol, backed onto a rectangular foam mounting with rounded corners. The adhesive surface is covered by a transparent silicone-treated protective film which must be removed before use. This system provides excellent local tolerability and adhesion.

The active component of the system is estradiol-17β. The drug matrix provides a source for continuous delivery of drug for at least 4 days. The composition of each of the systems per unit area is identical.

The mean dose of estradiol-17β absorbed per 24 hours is about 25 mcg for OESCLIM 25, 50 mcg for OESCLIM 50 and 100 mcg for OESCLIM 100. Physiological serum concentrations of estradiol, proportional to the quantity administered, are reached four hours after application of the patch.
