Abstract: The invention provides a therapeutic aqueous composition comprising: (i) a therapeutically effective amount of a hexahydro-5-pyrimidinamine compound, e.g. hexetidine; (ii) a salification acidic compound; and (iii) a polyalkoxylated fatty alcohol. The composition shows enhanced stability.
Abstract: Physiologically acceptable films, including edible films, are disclosed. The films include a water soluble film-forming polymer such as pullulan. Edible films are disclosed that include pullulan and antimicrobially effective amounts of the essential oils thymol, methyl salicylate, eucalyptol and menthol. The edible films are effective at killing the plaque-producing germs that cause dental plaque, gingivitis and bad breath. The film can also contain pharmaceutically active agents.
