CA 2046014

The present invention provides a method of reducing or preventing skin irritation of a weak base drug by inhibiting the accumulation of the drug in the lysosomes. The drug is irritating to humans, i.e., the drug is susceptible to inducing skin or mucosa irritation in a human when the drug is transdermally administered to the human at a therapeutically effective rate. Irritation reduction or prevention is induced by coadministering to the skin or mucosa of the human: (a) a therapeutically effective amount of a weak base drug which is irritating to humans, at a therapeutically effective rate over a predetermined period of time; and (b) an effective amount of an agent capable of inhibiting the lysosomal uptake of the drug to reduce or prevent irritation to the skin or mucosa.
