Abstract: A novel endermic medicament having a consistency of a gel is proposed which is formulated, as a gel base, with non-ionic water-soluble cellulose ether, e.g., methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, modified with a modification agent containing, in the molecule, an alkyl group having 6 to 26 carbon atoms and a functional group having reactivity with the hydroxyl group in the cellulose ether, e.g., stearyl glycidyl ether, decyl glycidyl ether and cetyl epoxide. The endermic medicament formulated with the modified cellulose ether is stable by virtue of the very little interaction between the active ingredients and the gel base and also can exhibit high percutaneous absorptivity of the active ingredients through the human skin.

Abstract: Topical analgesic anti-inflammatory compositions containing a corticosteroid in addition to the conventional efficacy-proven ingredients are disclosed. They may be embodied in an aerosol, a solution and any other type of composition being convenient for administration. More than the sum of effects of the individual ingredients has been proved. In other words, the effects of the salicylate esters and L-menthol are synergistically enhanced by the addition of the corticosteroid. Particularly, the persistency of the analgesic/anti-inflammatory effects of the conventional ingredients has been proved to be dependent upon the the concentration of the corticosteroid in the composition.
