摘要:
Topical oral dosage forms containing bismuth compounds are described, which are useful for treating H. pylori and other bacterial infections that cause gastrointestinal disorders and halitosis, as well as for treating ocular and dermal wounds. Methods of employing topical oral dosage forms for treating bacterial infections that cause gastrointestinal disorders and halitosis, and for treating ocular and dermal wounds, are also described.
摘要:
The invention relates to concomitant treatment with bismuth compounds, other antibacterial compounds, and/or antibiotics in oral-topical and peroral dosage forms to eradicate H. pylori from its niches both in the dental plaque and in the gastric mucosa in order to improve the ulcer cure rate and prevent ulcer relapse. The invention also provides oral topical dosage forms with pharmaceutically usable bismuth compounds, other antibacterial compounds, and/or antibiotics that eradicate or reduce H. pylori in dental plaque. The invention further provides for treatment with bismuth compounds, other antibacterial compounds, and/or antibiotics which are effective against Campylobacter rectus and Treponema denticola which are responsible for causing halitosis. The invention also provides bismuth compounds which have applications in wound healing, particularly in ocular and dermal wound healing.
