These transdermal delivery products use the reservoir
system:
- Nicoderm CQ® (nicotine),
- Estraderm® (estradiol),
- Duragesic® (fentanyl),
- Transderm-Scop® (scopolamine),
- Catapres-TTS® (clonidine),
- Transderm-Nitro® (nitroglycerin),and
- Testoderm® and Androderm® (testosterone).
These transdermal delivery products use the matrix
system:
- Ortho EvraTM (norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol
transdermal system),
- Climara® (estradiol),
- CombiPatch® (estradiol and progesterone),
- Nitro-Dur® (nitroglycerin),
- Habitrol® and Nicotrol® (nicotine), and
- Testoderm® (testosterone)
Note: Many of the above products
have been on the market for some time and obviously perform well. It is not
our intention here to discuss the merits of one delivery system over another
since Ortho EvraTM will not directly compete
against any current transdermal product.
