Abstract

An improved method for the manufacture of transdermal drug delivery devices comprising liquid dispersions of a liquid in an aqueous or nonaqueous matrix is disclosed. More particularly, the invention relates to preventing the formation of a crystalline structure in such liquid dispersions by annealing films and laminates in-line immediately following film formation and/or lamination during the manufacture of these devices.
