Abstract
The applicants have discovered that by simultaneously administering particular combinations of drugs at particular dosage levels by means of a transdermal delivery system, anesthesia may be induced in patients requiring such treatment. It has been found that profound sedation or an analgesic effect may be produced by means of a particular combination of pharmacologic agents which are administered simultaneously by transdermal administration. A patch system has been devised which is useful for reversing anesthesia.
