Definitions
- the present invention relates to the treatment of irritations and inflammations of the nasal passageways and cavity. More particularly, there is provided an aqueous composition of inorganic salts that prevents the degranulation of mast cells, inhibits the release of arachadonic acid and 5-lipoxygenase enzyme and irrigates the nasal passageways.
- Allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and epistaxis, as well as common irritations, can each be induced by any one of smoke, chemicals, pollens, mold or dust mites. Pollens cause the release of serine proteases such as tryptase and chymase and the activation of IgE which causes the degranulation of mast cells so as to initiate the acute inflammatory cycle.
- PARS proteinase activating factors
- PAR-2 proteinase activating factors
- Cromolyn inhibits the activation of PAR-2 and aids in the prevention of the degranulation of mast cells. Since any different number of factors are involved in causing nasal irritations and inflammations, it would be preferable to have a method of treatment which can reduce the allergens or irritants in the nasal passageways that can be used over long periods of time as well as treat any inflammations that can be used by children as well as adults.
- an aqueous composition and method for treating the symptoms associated with the irritation and inflammation of nasal passages and nasal cavity caused by allergens and irritants which cause the degranulation of mast cells, release of arachadonic acid and serine proteases More particular, there is provided a method of irrigating and treating the nasal passageways with an aqueous composition comprising a) About 1 to 10 percent by weight of salts comprising 1) About 45 to 60% of magnesium chloride, 2) About 29 to 41% of potassium chloride, and 3) About 1 to 4% of sodium chloride. b) The remainder being water.
- the composition is buffered by a pH of about 6.0 to 7.5.
- the composition may include plant extracts especially for irrigation and as a decongestant.
- the composition contains about 1 to 5% by weight of salts selected from the group consisting of magnesium bromide, calcium chloride, calcium bromide, sodium bromide and magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts).
- Epsom salts magnesium bromide, calcium chloride, calcium bromide, sodium bromide and magnesium sulfate
- cromolyn which is a PAR-2 inhibitor. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method for the treatment of irritations and inflammations of the nasal passageways with an aqueous composition comprising magnesium and potassium chloride. It is another object of the invention to reduce the presence of allergen and irritants in the nasal passageways by irrigation with an aqueous composition comprising inert salts.
- the present invention relates to a method of treating a patient suffering from an irritation and/or inflammations of the nasal passageway and cavity. More particularly, there is provided a method of nasally administering an effective amount of an aqueous composition comprising: A) About 1 to 10% by weight, preferably about 1 to 5% by weight of salts comprising: 1) About 45 to 60% of magnesium chloride, preferably about 55 to 58%.
- the composition is preferably at a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.
- the buffer can comprise a buffer selected from the groups comprising sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium carbonate and the like as is commonly used by those skilled in the art.
- the composition can include other inorganic sales selected from the group consisting of magnesium bromide, potassium bromide, calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium bromide or a mixture thereof in amount of about 0.5 to 4%.
- the aqueous composition may include cromolyn in an amount of about 0.5 to 4%, preferably 0.5 to 1%, to further inhibit the degranulation of mast cells and also inhibit the activation of arachadonic acid caused by irritants.
- Zinc ions such as in the form of zinc gluconate, have been found useful when viruses are involved and can be used in amounts up to 2%.
- Plant extract can be included such as echinacea which has been reported to inhibit gram-negative bacteria, Myrrh oil from cammphora abyssinica which helps to fight infection, and terpenes such as eucalyptus which is antiviral and aids in decongestion.
- the plant extracts can be used in amounts of about 0.5 to 2% by weight.
- a preferred 100 ml composition of the present invention comprises: Ingredient Wt. Magnesium Chloride 1.0 - 2.00g Magnesium Bromide 0.01 - 0.05 Magnesium Sulfate 0.01 - 0.05 Potassium Chloride 0.8 - 1 00g Calcium Chloride 0 - 0.05g Sodium Carbonate 0 - 0.05g 1% Saline Solution q.s. Optionally about O.lg of cromolyn may be added.
- the pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared for nasal administration according to standard formulating procedures.
- the salts may be dissolved in sterile water, physiological saline solution or buffer solution with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5 which is advantageously ironically balanced.
- the preferred formulation for borax buffer is as follows: Solution A-1.9g Na 2 P 4 0 7 per 100 ml of H 2 0. Solution B-1.25 g H 3 B0 3 + 0.3 g NaCl per 100 ml H 2 0 is mixed with Solution A and the salts are added. It is preferred to include a preservative, for example, Thimerosal or benzalkonium chloride and/or an antioxidant, for example, vitamin E.
- compositions are generally administered every four to eight hours and/or as conditions of the patient and atmosphere require.
- the following examples further illustrate the practice of this invention, but are not intended to be limiting thereof. It will be appreciated that the selection of actual amounts of composition to be administered to any individual patient will fall within the discretion of the attending physician and will be prescribed in a manner commensurate with the appropriate dosages will depend on the stage of the disease and like factors uniquely within the purview of the attending physician.
- Example 1 A composition which is effective as a nasal spray or nose drops is prepared as follows: Ingredient % Weight Magnesium Chloride 1.0 mg Potassium Chloride 1.0 mg 10% Saline Solution 97.9 Anti-oxidant 0.1 mg
- composition may additionally include 0.5% of magnesium sulfate and 0.5% of magnesium bromide.
- Example 2l solution which is effective as a nasal spray or nose drops is prepared as follows: Ingredient List
- cromolyn may be added.
