An adhesive composition for dermal patches, comprising (A) a (meth)acrylic
acid-base polymer having repeating units represented by formulae (1) and
(2): (wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represents a
hydrogen atom or a methyl group and M represents NH.sub.4.sup.+ or an
alkali metal) with the ratio of (1)/(2) being in a range of 100/0 to
90/10 (by mol), (B) water, (C) a polyhydric alcohol and (D) an aluminum
compound, with the content of (B) water being from 5 to 30 mass %; and a
production process thereof. The adhesive composition for dermal patch of
the present invention can contain a large amount of polyhydric alcohol
between skeletons of the adhesive layer and forms a stable between
skeletons of the adhesive layer and forms a stable base material free
from syneresis of the polyhydric alcohol. Furthermore, the dermal patch
using the adhesive composition for dermal patch of the present invention
is excellent in the release property and adherence and has high safety.
