DOTTI (estradiol transdermal system, USP) contains estradiol, USP in a multipolymeric adhesive. The system is designed to release estradiol, USP continuously upon application to intact skin. Five dosage strengths of DOTTI are available to provide nominal in vivo delivery rates of 0.025, 0.0375, 0.05, 0.075, or 0.1 mg of estradiol, USP per day via the skin. Each corresponding system has an active surface area of 1.89, 2.83, 3.78, 5.66, or 7.55 cm 2 and contains 0.314, 0.470, 0.627, 0.940, or 1.253 mg of estradiol USP, respectively. The composition of the systems per unit area is identical. Estradiol, USP is a white to practically white powder, chemically described as estra-1,3,5 (10)- triene-3,17β-diol. The structural formula is: The molecular formula of estradiol, USP is C 18 H 24 0 2 . The molecular weight is 272.39 g/mol. DOTTI is comprised of 3 layers. Proceeding from the visible surface toward the surface attached to the skin, these layers are (1) polyester and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer film (2) an adhesive formulation containing estradiol USP, acrylic adhesive, silicone adhesive, oleyl alcohol, NF, povidone, USP and dipropylene glycol, and (3) a polyester release liner which is attached to the adhesive surface and must be removed before the system can be used. The active component of the system is estradiol, USP. The remaining components of the system are pharmacologically inactive. FDA approved acceptance criteria for dissolution test specifications differ from USP.
