ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a composition and product for use in an electrotransport device. The composition includes an ionized drug, an anti-inflammatory agent and a solvent. Preferably, the anti-inflammatory agent is hydrocortisone or esters thereof, and the solvent is an alcohol, a glycol, a glycerol, a cyclodextrin, a nonionic surfactant or mixtures thereof. The composition preferably further includes a gel matrix that is a swellable, hydrophilic polymer, a water soluble hydrophilic polymer or a solid polymer. A hydrophobic polymer and/or additives may also be included.
