Abstract

A tape preparation is provided which does not use a backing such as a plastic film, knit or a woven fabric, or a nonwoven fabric, has very high conformability to skin, and is easy to use at the time of application. There is provided a tape preparation 1 that is produced by laminating a drug-containing adhesive layer 4 on the printed ink layer 3 side of a cover film 2 with printing thereon and covering the drug-containing adhesive layer with a release film 5. In this tape preparation, the adhesive strength between the cover film and the printed ink layer is higher than the adhesive strength between the drug-containing adhesive layer and the release film, and the adhesive strength between the printed ink layer and the drug-containing adhesive layer is higher than the adhesive strength between the cover film and the printed ink layer.

Claims

1. A tape preparation produced by laminating a drug-containing adhesive layer on a printed ink layer side of a cover film with printing thereon and covering the drug-containing adhesive layer with a release film.

2. The tape preparation according to claim 1, wherein an adhesive strength between the cover film and the printed ink layer is higher than an adhesive strength between the drug-containing adhesive layer and the release film, and an adhesive strength between the printed ink layer and the drug-containing adhesive layer is higher than an adhesive strength between the cover film and the printed ink layer.

3. The tape preparation according to claim 1, wherein the drug-containing adhesive layer is applied onto an application site in such a manner that the printed ink layer is still laminated on the drug-containing adhesive layer, by peeling off the release film and applying the tape preparation, and then peeling off the cover film with printing thereon.

4. The tape preparation according to claim 1, wherein a slit is provided on the cover film and/or the release film.

5. The tape preparation according to claim 1, wherein the tape preparation is produced by laminating the drug-containing adhesive layer on the printed ink layer side of the cover film with printing thereon and covering the drug-containing adhesive layer with the release film, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film, then applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto an applied surface, and then peeling off the cover film.

6. The tape preparation according to claim 1, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film and applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto a targeted surface, and then, moreover, peeling off the cover film.

7. The tape preparation according to claim 2, wherein the drug-containing adhesive layer is applied onto an application site in such a manner that the printed ink layer is still laminated on the drug-containing adhesive layer, by peeling off the release film and applying the tape preparation, and then peeling off the cover film with printing thereon.

8. The tape preparation according to claim 2, wherein a slit is provided on the cover film and/or the release film.

9. The tape preparation according to claim 3, wherein a slit is provided on the cover film and/or the release film.

10. The tape preparation according to claim 2, wherein the tape preparation is produced by laminating the drug-containing adhesive layer on the printed ink layer side of the cover film with printing thereon and covering the drug-containing adhesive layer with the release film, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film, then applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto an applied surface, and then peeling off the cover film.

11. The tape preparation according to claim 3, wherein the tape preparation is produced by laminating the drug-containing adhesive layer on the printed ink layer side of the cover film with printing thereon and covering the drug-containing adhesive layer with the release film, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film, then applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto an applied surface, and then peeling off the cover film.

12. The tape preparation according to claim 4, wherein the tape preparation is produced by laminating the drug-containing adhesive layer on the printed ink layer side of the cover film with printing thereon and covering the drug-containing adhesive layer with the release film, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film, then applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto an applied surface, and then peeling off the cover film.

13. The tape preparation according to claim 2, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film and applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto a targeted surface, and then, moreover, peeling off the cover film.

14. The tape preparation according to claim 3 wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film and applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto a targeted surface, and then, moreover, peeling off the cover film.

15. The tape preparation according to claim 4, wherein application is completed by peeling off the release film and applying the drug-containing adhesive layer onto a targeted surface, and then, moreover, peeling off the cover film.
