The present invention provides a production method of a
nicotine transdermal preparation, which is capable of producing a
nicotine transdermal preparation conveniently and economically, while maintaining highly precise content uniformity, which is capable of producing a preparation simultaneously achieving fixedness and a soft feeling during adhesion, associated with reduced
skin irritation upon peeling off and superior in
adhesive property. The present invention provides a
nicotine transdermal preparation superior in content uniformity, simultaneously achieving fixedness and a soft feeling during adhesion, and showing reduced
skin irritation upon peeling off. The present invention provides a method of producing a preparation containing a support and an
adhesive layer formed thereon, which
adhesive layer containing nicotine and a liquid ingredient compatible with the adhesive, which method includes (1) providing the adhesive layer wherein a
contact angle of nicotine with the adhesive layer before containing nicotine is 20-60°, and (2) applying nicotine to the adhesive layer to allow absorption of nicotine into the adhesive layer, as well as a preparation containing a support and an adhesive layer formed thereon, which adhesive layer including nicotine and a liquid ingredient compatible with the adhesive, wherein a
contact angle of nicotine with the adhesive layer before containing nicotine is 20-60°.
