PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel patch for external use, which has a structure showing little loss of an external preparation for the skin and enabling substantially equal transfer of the external preparation for the skin applied between matching surfaces of supports when separating the supports in use.SOLUTION: The patch 1 for external use comprises the external preparation for the skin 3 applied between the matching surfaces of the layered, sheet-like supports 2, wherein the external preparation for the skin 3 comprises an emulsifiable base as a base. The viscosity and the volume of the external preparation for the skin applied between the matching surfaces of the supports 2 are controlled so as to form adhesion surfaces 4 to which substantially equal amounts of the external preparation for the skin are transferred when separating or unfolding the layered supports 2 in use.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】皮膚外用剤のロスが少なく、又、使用時において支持体を剥離した際に、支持体の合わせ面間に挟み込まれた皮膚外用剤がほぼ均等に分離移行するように構成された新規な外用貼付剤を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】 重なり合うシート状の支持体2における合わせ面間に、乳化性基剤を基剤とする皮膚外用剤3が挟み込まれた外用貼付剤1であり、皮膚外用剤の粘度及び担持量を制御することによって、使用時に重なり合う支持体2を分離或いは展開した際に、支持体2の合わせ面間に挟み込まれていた皮膚外用剤3がほぼ均等に分離移行して貼付面4を形成する。【選択図】図1
