Business summary

TOYOCHEM 's transdermal patches (TDDS formulations) are pharmaceuticals that are applied to the body to continuously administer active ingredients through the skin.
When it comes to transdermal patches, anti-inflammatory and analgesic transdermal patches are generally known, but our products are called ``systemic-acting'' and are used to treat diseases where the cause of the disease is internal to the body (angina heart). This drug is used to treat diseases such as symptoms.
Advantages of transdermal patches include (1) the ability to maintain effective blood concentrations and reduce side effects, and (2) ease of handling.
We also operate a CDMO business specializing in transdermal patches.
