The present invention relates to a matrix type patch for the transdermal delivery of a bronchodilator which is consisted of a backing layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprising a drug, and a release liner, wherein the said pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises as the drug component at least one of brochodilators selected from a group consisting of formoterol, salmeterol, tulobuterol, clenbuterol and the like; cationic polymers enhancing skin-permeability of the said drug components; solubilizing agents of the drug components; and pressure sensitive adhesives. The matrix type patch according to the present invention provides high skin permeability of the drug by using cationic polymeric absorption enhancers, sustained duration of the drug action for a prolonged time and excellent adhesion to the skin without causing irritation. |
