This invention describes a topical delivery mechanism that contains a mixture of cetylated fatty esters that act as transdermal carriers of desired therapeutic molecules. The proposed cetyl fatty ester penetrant-complex (Base CFEP-complex) contains specific cetyl fatty esters, polar solvents, a carrier base (gel, cream, lotion, patch or stick gel), antioxidants and the desired pharmaceutical, cosmetic or antigenic response eliciting molecules that are efficaciously delivered by selectively varying component ratios in the complex. The invention proposes the use of transdermal delivery of medications such as those used in treatment of urinary incontinence, testosterone deficiency, arthritic and joint pain and other pains such as pain in the neck, lower back, back, knees, headaches, and other types of inflammatory pains, peripheral neuropathic pain, pain associated with repetitive strain injuries such as myofacial pain, rapid treatment of epileptic seizures, soluble antigens in the immuno-therapeutic treatment of allergies, actives in the treatment of foot cracks and elbow cracks, actives in the treatment of facial and other wrinkles in the form of anti-aging creams and gels and other topically delivered therapies. |
