摘要:
A transdermal delivery device comprising a roller 9, at least one microneedle 2 supported by the roller 9, and at least one reservoir 6 for a liquid pharmaceutical composition wherein movement of the roller 9 over the skin of a patient causes it to rotate and bring the microneedle 2 into contact with the skin of the patient and into fluid communication with the reservoir 6. A method of assembling a transdermal delivery device comprising attaching the microneedle 2 to the device and attaching the reservoir 6 to the device is also provided. A method of administering a liquid pharmaceutical composition to a patient using a transdermal delivery device is also provided. The microneedle 2 may have a bore which is in fluid communication with a fluid conduit 3 having a port 4. The conduit port 4 may be brought into engagement with a port 5 on the drug reservoir to fluidly connect the reservoir to the microneedle when the roller is moved across the skin.
