as shown in fig1 showing an example of two islands which can be made if the configuration of fig1 is cut to include multiple islands between the islands is a space allowing the adhesive from the overlay to show through to aid adhesion to the skin when such a patch is applied to an individual the area between the active matrixes would provide additional adhesion maximizing skin contact and therefore flux this design increases average skin contact for extended wear of large highly loaded adhesives in which adhesion usually decreases as the components leave the system and or moisture is absorbed below are examples of specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention the examples are offered for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way a galantamine containing polyacrylate adhesive solution is mixed with flux enhancing agents such as lauryl pyrollidone oleic acid lauryl lactate the adhesive is a national starch duro tak u00ae 87 4287 adhesive which is a polymerization product of vinyl acetate 2 ethylhexyl acrylate and hydroxyethyl acrylate the solution is film cast to approximately 9 mils 0 225 mm thick on a 2 mil 0 05 mm or 3 mil.
