Description

Technical field

The invention relates to a novel medicament for the healing of cold sores, facial and vaginal cold sores.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Herpes is a skin disease caused by viruses. It has been known since the Greek civilization and is widespread throughout the world. Herpes simplex virus causes vaginal or vaginal herpes. In most cases, the first contact with the cold sore virus occurs as symptomatic either when infecting in childhood or by “getting” from another person. When the virus entered the tissue in the lips, it "commanded" the nerve cell DNA to produce cognate viruses. Herpes simplex mostly survives in nerve cells. Upon recovery, it travels along the nerve fibers and points to the skin surface. And it is at that time that itching appears to signal an impending health problem. After healing of the skin and mucous membranes, the virus “shrinks to the roots of the nerves and survives here in a quiet stage. The outbreak of infection in our body provokes the production of defensive antibodies, which then protect most people from further development of herpes. As a rule, the cold sore will not appear throughout their lives. Some people, however, get the cold sore again. From a resting state in nerve cells, the virus "awakens" to activity, "travels" back to the skin and mucous membranes due to various provocation factors, and causes fresh herpes. Known provoking moments include feverish diseases, excessive sunbathing, some foods and drinks, stressful situations, lack of sleep and rest, exhaustion and hormonal changes. These conditions are always related to the decline in immunity. There are four stages of each cold sore:

Stage 1 - itching, burning, skin tightness and pain are usually warning signs of approaching herpes.

Stage 2 - blister stage. On a slightly reddish skin a small group of small, rapidly expanding and merging blisters are poured. Their contents are clogged by the presence of a bacterial infection.

Stage 3 - the blisters gradually burst. Painful and oozing ulcers arise, which are covered with dried tissue wet, often with an admixture of blood.

- 2 4th stage - healing stage. The dried tissue fluid gradually peeled off and within 7-14 days the site healed completely without scars. Only a few days at the site of herpes can persist stained spot.

A drug that would permanently heal herpes and prevent its recurrence has not yet existed. Most people do not have major problems with herpes, and they need local treatment. Among the known natural herbal remedies that help in herpes are garlic, red wine, lysine-rich foods, vitamin C and zinc.

In some complicated cases, overall treatment with modern antiviral agents is performed. Cold sores are most commonly treated with aciclovir. Dermatologic, a virostatic under the trade name Zovirax, is commonly used as a medicine for cold sores on the lips and face. It is marketed in the form of an ointment that is applied to the affected area at the itching, burning or blistering stage and speeds up treatment. Vitamin B (B-complex) is applied to promote healing. Its active ingredient contains the antiviral ingredient aciclovir (aciclovir) 5% in a smooth white cream containing dimeticone (dimethicone), propylene glycol (propylene glycol), poloxamer (poloxamer) 407, alcohol cetylstearylicus (cetyl alcohol and searyl alcohol), sodium laurel sodium, sodium laurils. (white petrolatum), paraffinum liquidum, aqua purificata (purified water). However, this medicinal product must not be used in patients who are hypersensitive to any of its ingredients. It is also not suitable for people with a weakened immune system, and may cause mild burning, swelling and an undesirable allergic skin reaction after administration.

Furthermore, a virostatic with the trade name DUVIRA gel is commonly used as a medicament to treat cold sores on the lips and face. It is marketed in the form of an ointment that is applied to the affected area at the itching, burning or blistering stage and speeds up treatment. Its active ingredient contains dihydroxypropyladenine (dihydroxypropyladenine) in the gel and the excipients carbomer (carbomer) 940, glycerol (glycerol), methylparabenum (methylparaben), aqua purificata (purified water). The disadvantage of this drug is that it is suitable for the treatment of herpes only in its initial phase. Such a drug often causes mild burning in patients and must not be used by patients with hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Also used for the treatment of cold sores on the lips and face is commonly used as a medicine phytopharmaceutical, dermatological, antiviral with the trade name LAKINAL gel. It is marketed in the form of an ointment that is applied to the affected area at the itching, burning or blistering stage and speeds up treatment. Its active substance contains salviae tinctura (a dense extract of

- 3 melons) in the gel and excipients carbomer 980 (carbomer 980), trolamine (trolamine), propylene glycol (propylene glycol), ethanol 96% pur subtillis (ethanol 96%), neo-PCL wasserloeslich (neo-purcelline), natrii edetas ( sodium edetate), aqua purificata (purified water). The medicinal product must not be used with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Such a drug often causes local redness of the skin, itching and blisters in patients.

A common disadvantage of the herpes healing medicaments is that patients are costly and unsuitable for a wide range of patients because of the large amount of active and excipients they contain.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

These drawbacks are largely eliminated by the herpes healing medicament of the present invention, which comprises a uniform blend of 32 to 66.5% by weight acetum salicylicum, 32 to 66.5% by weight vaselinum album (white petrolatum) and 0 to 2.5% by weight panthenol .

The advantage of the novel medicament according to the invention is that it is cheaper and more affordable for patients than the herpes medicines used hitherto and that it is also suitable for the treatment of cold sores, facial and vaginal cold sores, while for a pharmacy the doctor can prescribe according to individual professional approach in particular, determine the patient's appropriate chemical composition from the scope set forth in the claims of the present invention. At the same time, because of the low content of active and auxiliary substances, such a medicinal product is suitable for treatment for a considerably wider range of patients.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Specific examples of the medicament of the invention consist of the following uniform mixture:

Example 1

- 49, 2% by weight of acetylsalicylic acid, i. j. 10 crushed tablets of Acylpyrin with acetylsalicylic acid 500 mg per tablet,

- 4 - 42.2% by weight, vaselinum album (white petrolatum), t. j. in an amount of 5 g,

1.6% by weight of panthenol, i. 2. Crushed 100 mg panthenol tablets.

Example 2

- 50% by weight of acetum salicylicum, i. j. crushed tablets of Acylpyrin with acetylsalicylic acid,

- 50% by weight, vaselinum album (white petrolatum).

Example 3:

- 65.8% by weight of acetylsalicylic acid, i. j. 20. crushed tablets of Acylpyrin with acetylsalicylic acid 500 mg per tablet,

32.9% by weight, vaselinum album (white petrolatum), i. in an amount of 5 g,

- 1.3% by weight of panthenol, i. j. 2. Crushed 100 mg panthenol tablets.

Example 4:

- 32.5% by weight of acetum salicylic acid, i. j. from 5 crushed tablets of Acylpyrine with acetylsalicylic acid 500 mg per tablet,

65% by weight, vaselinum album (white petrolatum), i. in an amount of 5 g,

- 2.5% by weight of panthenol, i. j. 2. Crushed 100 mg panthenol tablets.

It is also possible to provide other examples of the medicament according to the invention in the form of a homogeneous mixture of substances formed by a possible combination of the chemical composition within the weight percentages of the claims. It is advantageous for the physician to determine the specific chemical composition of the herpes healing medicinal product from the scope of the chemical composition set forth in the claims of the invention according to the individual professional approach to the patient.

In this case, the medicament according to the invention in the form of an ointment which is applied to the affected area at the itching, burning or blistering stage is used for the sores on the lips, face and vaginally. The proven efficacy of curing patients with the medicament of the invention is up to 90%. The medicinal product must not be used if the patient is hypersensitive to any of its components.
