Since the microneedle 50 has such a shape, even when a pressure higher than 0.13 MPa is applied to the microneedle sheet 20, most of the pressure is applied to the sheet-like base material 21, and stress is concentrated on the tip surface 51a. Therefore, the stratum corneum 110 is prevented from being broken at the tip surface 51a. Further, when the portion where the skin 100 is in close contact with the sheet-like substrate 21 is increased, the microneedle 50 and the sheet-like substrate 21 are made of the same material in consideration of transdermal administration from the sheet-like substrate 21 to the skin 100. It is preferable that it is comprised. For example, when it is desired to administer as much sodium hyaluronate as possible to the skin 100 for cosmetic purposes, it is effective that the sheet-like substrate 21 is formed of sodium hyaluronate.

- the skin stretched part 51 and the sheet-like base material 21 are entirely formed of, for example, sodium hyaluronate.
- the skin extension 51 is a truncated cone, and the diameter D1 of the front end surface 51a is set within a range of 40 ⁇ m to 250 ⁇ m, the diameter D2 of the rear cross section 51b is set within a range of 120 ⁇ m to 700 ⁇ m, and the front cross section 51b
- the height H1 to the surface 51a is set within a range of 30 ⁇ m to 300 ⁇ m.
- the diameter D1 of the distal end surface 51a is preferably set within a range of 60 ⁇ m to 80 ⁇ m so that the skin is easily deformed. Expressing this in terms of the area of the tip surface 51a, in order to reduce the pressure applied to the tip surface 51a and make it difficult for the tip surface 51a to enter the stratum corneum, the area of the tip surface 51a is 1 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 mm 2. This is preferable.
- the skin stretched part 51 set to the above size is such that when the transdermal patch 10B is attached to normal human skin, the distal end surface 51a of the skin stretched part 51 is the stratum corneum of the skin. It is the structure which does not penetrate in. In other words, if the shape of the skin stretch portion 51 is set to the size as described above, the skin around the skin stretch portion 51 stretches when the transdermal administration patch 10B is applied to the skin. This means that the skin surface reaches the surface of the sheet-like substrate 21.

- the arrangement of the plurality of microneedles 50B is not limited to the lattice shape, but it is preferable that they are arranged uniformly throughout. This is because if the arrangement of the microneedles 50B is biased, a portion where a relatively high pressure is applied and a portion where a relatively low pressure is applied are formed. This is because if the pressure difference between the relatively high pressure portion and the relatively low pressure portion becomes too large, a region where the skin stretched portion 51 is stuck in the stratum corneum may occur.
- the tip surface 51a of the skin stretching portion 51 hits the stratum corneum 110 of the skin 100.
- the total area of the front end surface 51a per unit area is preferably arranged such that (0.003 ⁇ UL 2 or more in for example FIG. 5) of 0.3% or more per unit area .
