 |
|
Samyang's R&D center for the first time succeeded in developing the diclofenac transdermal plaster.
Rheumastop to provide once daily effective pain resolution for arthritic joints and other sports related
injuries.
Diclofenac is a powerful NSAID agent but has the limitation of gastric irritation upon oral intake.
Rheumastop as a result of transdermal delivery of diclofenac allows patient to benefit from powerful
analgesic effect of diclofenac without gastric side effects.
Application of the Rheumastop on the arthritic joint allows delivery of diclofenac to the synovial fluid of
the joint and as a result provide significant reduction is swelling and pain associated with arithrits. |
|
| Advantages |
|
1. Potent & Long-lasting Therapeutic Efficacy
Deep penetration of drugs to synovial fluid due to proprietary enhancing technology
High local drug concentration
Long-lasting delivery |
|
2. Cool Feeling
Optional incorporation of menthol provides a cool feeling and works synergistically with NSAIDS
as well as penetration enhancing effects. |
|
3. Elasticity & Flexibility
Elastic, flexible and thin PU backing film provides
intimate contact with the joints
conformability
long pertinence
ultra-comfort to the patient |
|
4. Transparency
Non-glossy transparent PU film allows the minimum notice when applied on the exposed area. |
|
5. Water-proof
Hydrophobic PU backing film keeps pressure sensitive adhesive from wetting by water,
allowing patient to bathe and exercise. |
|
6. Breathability
Conventional PU backing films with equilibrium water contents of < 1% have moisture vapor transport
rate (MVTR) of 1500~2000 g/m2/day.
cf. MVTR of skin: 200~2000 g/m2/day |
|
7. Skin Compatibility
Low value of primary skin irritation index (P.I.I) due to the use of breathable
backing film and non-irritant ingredients renders the Samyang Plaster highly
biocompatible to the skin even in case of long-term, repeated use. |
|
8. Manufacturing Process
Multi-layered matrix is manufactured by technologically advanced,
unique process developed by Samyang Corporation.
Products with varying thickness, elasticity and size can be designed at will for the best performance
of the application. |
