Fentanyl transdermal system contains fentanyl, an opioid agonist, for transdermal administration. The amount of fentanyl released from each system per hour is proportional to the surface area (25 mcg/hour per 10.5 cm 2 ). The composition per unit area of all transdermal system sizes is identical.

The n-octanol: water partition coefficient is 860:1. The pKa is 8.4. The chemical name is N-phenyl-N-(1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinyl) propanamide. The structural formula is: Fentanyl transdermal system is a rectangular transparent unit comprising a release liner and two functional layers. Proceeding from the outer surface toward the surface adhering to skin, these layers are: 1) a backing layer of polyethylene terephalate film; 2) a drug-in-adhesive layer. Before use, a release liner covering the drug-in-adhesive layer is removed and discarded. image description image description
