The inadvertent and/or intentional misuse and/or FIELD OF THE INVENTION abuse of transdermal delivery devices remains a significant health problem. Thus, there is a need for a transdermal deliv 0001. The present invention relates to a disposal system ery disposal system that is less Susceptible to abuse than is for preventing, inhibiting, and/or diminishing the intentional presently known in the art. and/or inadvertent misuse or abuse of a transdermal delivery device (“TDD) containing an active pharmaceutical agent, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Such as an opioid. The present invention also relates to a 0008. One embodiment of the invention relates to a TDD method for disposing of a TDD and/or for preventing the disposal system comprising at least a first Substrate having an misuse or abuse of a TDD or any ingredient of a TDD. adhesive coating on one face thereof, and one or more of the following components present at least in or on the adhesive BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION coating or in or on the first Substrate, or any combination thereof: 0002 Transdermal dosage forms are convenient dosage 0009 (a) a monomer, and optionally at least one comono forms for delivering many different active therapeutically mer, effective agents, including but not limited to analgesics.

Typical opioid analgesics include, but tor; are not limited to, fentanyl, buprenorphine, etorphines, and 0011 (c) at least one crosslinking agent; and other high potency narcotics. Other therapeutically effective 0012 (d) at least one active agent deactivating agent, e.g., agents which may be delivered by a transdermal delivery an opioidantagonist for use with a TDD comprising an opioid system include, but are not limited to, anti-emetics (Scopola agonist. mine), cardiovascular agents (nitrates and clonidine), hor 0013 Another embodiment of the invention relates to a mones (estrogen and testosterone), nicotine, Vitamins, dietary TDD disposal system further comprising one or more of the Supplements, etc. following components present at least in or on the adhesive 0003. The most common transdermal dosage form is a coating or in or on a second Substrate, or any combination diffusion-driven transdermal system (transdermal patch) thereof: using either a fluid reservoir or a drug-in-adhesive matrix 0.014 (a) a monomer, and optionally at least one system.

An additional embodiment of the invention relates However, many dosage forms, and particularly those for to a kit comprising a transdermal delivery device comprising timed and Sustained release of active agent(s), contain large at least one active agent, and a TDD disposal system; where amounts of active agent(s), often many times the actual the TDD disposal system comprises: absorbed dose. Often, the dosage form contains an excess of 0019 (i) at least a first substrate having an adhesive coat active agent ordelivers less than the entire amount of its active ing on one face thereof, and agent to the Subject being treated. This results in most of the 0020 (ii) one or more of the following components active agent remaining in the dosage form after use. Both the presentat least in or on the adhesive coating or in or on the first unused dosage form and the portion of active agent that Substrate, or any combination thereof: remains in the dosage form after use are Subject to potential 0021 (a) a monomer, and optionally at least one comono illicit abuse, particularly if the active agent is a narcotic or a mer, controlled Substance. For example, used dosage forms con 0022 (b) an initiator, and optionally at least one co-initia taining excess or unused opioids may be tampered with by tor; chewing or extraction by a drug abuser.

Another embodiment of the invention relates to a kit ible tear-resistant substrate. The used transdermal patch is comprising a transdermal delivery device containing at least adhered to the substrate in order to encapsulate and prevent one active agent; and a TDD disposal system comprising at access to the transdermal patch. Rubber based adhesives are least a first rigid, non-planar Substrate having an adhesive preferred by Cubbage coating on at least one face. 0006 U.S. Pat.

A further embodiment of the invention relates to a 714 to Lee et al. each relate to misuse-resistive dosage forms kit comprising a transdermal delivery device comprising for the transdermal delivery of opioids. In these patents, the buprenorphine or any pharmaceutically acceptable form or respective transdermal patches are provided with an opioid derivative of buprenorphine; and a TDD disposal system antagonist which is intended to be extracted from the patch if comprising at least a first Substrate having an adhesive coat the patch is chewed or Subjected to an extraction process.
