However, difficulties remain with such dermal FIELD enhancers because the problem of irritation at the site of application has not been overcome. 0001. This invention relates to a transdermal delivery sys tem and to a method of transdermal delivery of a physiologi 0009. The most critical problem with these compounds cally active agent. however is their toxicity. If a compound when used as a dermal enhancer is toxic, irritating or allergenic, then that compound is unsuitable for application to the animal body. BACKGROUND Dimethyl acetamide is not clinically acceptable for these 0002 Administration of physiologically active agents reasons. Although Deet and AZones have lower reported tox through the skin (transdermal delivery) has received icities, their toxicity is still such that they are not widely used. increased attention because it not only provides a relatively It is possible that AZone and dimethyl sulfoxide may be simple dosage regime but it also provides a relatively slow employed as a dermal penetration enhancer if the amount and controlled route for release of a physiologically active applied is Sufficiently small so as not to be appreciably toxic, agent into the systemic circulation. However, transdermal irritating or allergenic to the animal. drug delivery is complicated by the fact that the skin behaves 0010. The compositions of the present invention are suit as a natural barrier and therefore transport of agents through able for use as vehicles for the topical application of specific the skin is a complex mechanism. compounds to the skin using pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, 0003 Structurally, the skin consists of two principle parts, cosmetic or veterinary preparations.
