Fx: RESULTS The data indicate that PCCA’s Lipoderm® delivered ketamine HCl, gabapentin, clonidine HCl and baclofen, simultaneously (and intact), into and through human cadaver skin, in vitro. The absorption profiles indicate a rapid penetration to a peak flux for gabapentin and baclofen occurring approximately one (1) hour after dose application, and approximately four (4) hours for ketamine HCl. Clonidine HCl exhibited a rapid penetration to an initial peak flux occurring one (1) hour after dose application, but also a secondary peak at approximately 40 hours, possibly due to a depot of some of the applied dose in the epidermis.
