Estradiol transdermal system, USP continuous delivery (once-weekly) is designed to release estradiol continuously upon application to intact skin. Six (7.75, 11.625, 15.5, 18.6, 23.25 and 31 cm 2 ) systems are available to provide nominal in vivo delivery of 0.025, 0.0375, 0.05, 0.06, 0.075 or 0.1 mg respectively of estradiol per day. The period of use is 7 days. Each system has a contact surface area of either 7.75, 11.625, 15.5, 18.6, 23.25 or 31 cm 2 , and contains estradiol, USP hemihydrate equivalent to 0.97, 1.46, 1.94, 2.33, 2.91 or 3.88 mg of estradiol, respectively. The composition of the systems per unit area is identical. Estradiol, USP hemihydrate is a white, crystalline powder, chemically described as Estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol-hemihydrate. It has a molecular formula of C 18 H 24 O 2 • ½ H 2 O and molecular weight of 281.39. The structural formula is: Meets USP Drug Release Test 2. The estradiol transdermal system continuous delivery (once-weekly) comprises four layers. Proceeding from the visible surface toward the surface attached to the skin, these layers are: (1) A foam backing with adhesive layer (2) A polyester film (3) An acrylate adhesive matrix containing estradiol. (4) A protective liner of siliconized polyester film is attached to the adhesive surface and must be removed before the system can be used. The active component of the transdermal system is estradiol. The remaining components of the transdermal system (propylene glycol, povidone, anhydrous colloidal silicon dioxide, pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, copolymer foam, polyester film, and brown ink) are pharmacologically inactive.
