A topical composition useful for treating psoriasis and other skin disorders.

Method and compositions for treating psoriasis

Methods and compositions for treating psoriasis

Novel compositions of matter comprising a foamable delivery system are provided. Novel methods for treating a disease, disorder, or condition using the novel compositions are further provided. Novel methods for making and delivering a foamable pharmaceutical composition are also provided. While the novel compositions and foamable drug delivery system may be utilized for administration of a wide variety of drugs to epithelial tissues, to treat a wide variety of diseases, disorders, or conditions, the inventive compositions and foamable drug delivery systems are particularly useful for the dermatological administration of corticosteroids and antifungal agents.

Foamable pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating a disorder

Solid, stick-type cosmetic compositions consist essentially of from about 1 to about 30 parts by weight of sodium stearate, 100 parts by weight of water and an 'active' material intended to be applied to the skin. The composition also preferably contains a polyhydroxyl compound, such as a glycol or a polyglycol in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent. The addition of up to about 5 weight percent sodium chloride reduces the 'syneresis' effect upon storing the compositions at low or high temperature, and increases the setting point of the composition. The compositions are useful as deodorant sticks, perfume sticks, sun sticks, hand lotion sticks, talc sticks, pigment sticks and insect repellant sticks.

A pump assembly for dispensing fluent material from within a container includes a tank and a piston defining therebetween a pump chamber and movable relative to each other to pump fluid from the container into and out of the pump chamber. A poppet interposed between the tank and the piston extends at one end thereof into the inlet conduit for the pump chamber and at the opposite end into the exhaust conduit. When the tank and piston are moving relative to each other to draw fluid from the container into the pump chamber, the end of the poppet extending to within the exhaust conduit engages against a valve seat defined in the exhaust conduit to close the exhaust conduit. The other end of the poppet extending to within the inlet conduit is frictionally engaged within the inlet conduit and the drag forces thus effected upon this end of the poppet operate to enhance the sealing effect of the opposite end of the poppet to close the exhaust conduit thereby permitting fluid to be drawn into the pump chamber. The minimum cross sectional area through which fluid flows from the container into the pump chamber through the inlet conduit is determined by the dimensions of the inlet conduit and the end of the poppet extending thereinto. By maintaining, during the exhaust stroke of the piston, the minimum cross sectional area of the inlet conduit substantially less than the flow area of the exhaust conduit, fluid within the chamber will tend to follow the path of least resistance and flow out of the exhaust conduit rather than back into the container despite the fact that the inlet conduit is maintained open during this exhaust stroke and despite the fact that no valve means tending to close the inlet conduit at the beginning of the exhaust stroke are provided.

Friction drag pump assembly

A pressurized container fitted with a fusible plug and containing a suitable propellent with a vapor operated sounding alarm attached is constructed as a selfcontained sounding device that produces its sound when subjected to heat sufficient to cause the fusible plug to melt permitting the propellent to escape through the alarm attached to the container.
