  • Publication number: 20230226108
    Abstract: Clay delivery systems for providing antimicrobial compositions are provided. The delivery systems include a two-part active excipient system that delivers clay for various applications of use, including topical applications. The two-part delivery system can include a first part comprising suspending agent(s), poloxamer and optionally a gellant, and a second part that is simultaneously delivered therewith comprising one or more nonionic EO-PO block copolymers in a water-based system. The delivery systems beneficially provide clays in a stable system that also unexpectedly accelerate the release of the clay into the water system for activation and delivery that is enhanced by the poloxamers into the tissue or organ of the body in need of treatment thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230131873
    Abstract: Medicinal clay compositions and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same are disclosed. The medicinal clay compositions provide a protective barrier for the clay allowing manufacturing, storage and use that protects the medicinal clay from moisture and hydration that would otherwise prematurely activate the clay. The medicinal clay compositions allow use of medicinal clays in various delivery systems and types of therapeutic compositions, including foams, hydrocolloids, electrospinning, films, pastes, and the like. Methods of preparing the medicinal clay compositions and methods of use are also disclosed. Methods of using the medicinal clay compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, and cation sources to reduce microbial populations on a subject and/or remove chloride from exudate from a tissue or organ in need of treatment are also disclosed.
