Abstract
Disclosed are methods and formulations for the treatment of topical conditions on mammalian tissues such as skin and mucous tissues mediated at least in part by viral, bacterial or fungal infections in the mammal. The methods of this invention involve the in situ formation of a polymeric film over the diseased tissue.
Claims27
A method for treating skin or mucous membrane lesions in a mammal wherein the formation of said lesions is mediated at least in part by one or more bacterial, viral and/or fungal agents which method comprises:
- (a) identifying skin or mucous membrane lesion(s) in a mammal wherein the formation of said lesions is mediated at least in part by one or more bacterial, viral and/or fungal infectious agents;
- and
- (b) forming a polymeric film over said lesion(s) which inhibits proliferation of said infectious agents in said lesion(s).
A biocompatible composition comprising:
- a polymer film forming component selected from the group consisting of biocompatible prepolymers and biocompatible polymer;
- and
- an effective amount of an anti-infectious agent selected from the group consisting of anti-fungal and anti-viral medicaments.
A biocompatible composition comprising:
- a polymer film forming component selected from the group consisting of biocompatible prepolymers and biocompatible polymer;
- and
- an effective amount of an ablative agent.
