  • Publication number: 20020090401
    Abstract: The use of acidified nitrate as an agent to produce local production of nitrate oxide at the skin surface is described in the treatment of peripheral ischaemia and associated conditions. The dosage form may be in any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier means and comprises an acidifying agent adapted to reduce the pH at the environment. A barrier consisting of a membrane allows diffusions of the nitrate ions while preventing direct contact of the skin and acidifying agent. Amongst the many potential applications for the invention is the management of chronic skin wounds, peripheral ischaemia conditions such as Raynaud's phenomenon. Compositions and methods of use for these applications are described.
