Title:
Clear, water-miscible, liquid pharmaceutical vehicles and compositions which gel at body temperature for drug delivery to mucous membranes
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical vehicles for delivery of pharmacologically active chemical materials to mucous membranes, as well as pharmaceutically active compositions containing such vehicles, are provided. The pharmaceutical vehicles are clear, water-miscible, physiologically-acceptable, liquid compositions which gel to a thickened, non-flowing and adhering consistency at human body temperature. They are liquid at ambient room temperature and have a gel transition temperature in the range of from about 25.degree. to about 40.degree. C. Aqueous solutions of certain polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene condensates are suitable vehicles. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing added pharmacologically active chemical material, i.e., a drug or medicament. A method of delivering the drug or medicament to a mucous membrane is also provided.
