Abstract

A trinitroglycerol-containing substantially disaccharide-free polymeric diffusion matrix is provided for the transdermal systemic delivery of trinitroglycerol through the skin of a patient. The polymeric diffusion matrix contains sufficient trinitroglycerol to be released over a prolonged period of time and comprises a first lower molecular weight, partially hydrolyzed polyvinylalcohol component, a second higher molecular weight, essentially fully hydrolyzed polyvinylalcohol component, and glycerol.
