Patent number: 5496540Abstract: An oral composition, such as a paste or gel dentifrice or a liquid mouthwash, containing a substantially water insoluble non-cationic antibacterial agent, such as triclosan, which, when used to clean the teeth or rinse the mouth, acts to decrease plaque on the teeth, is packaged in a dispensing container which includes a solid polymeric material, such as polyfluoroethylene, which is compatible with the antibacterial agent so that excessive loss of anti-plaque activity of such agent on storage is avoided. Alternatively, various other polymers may be employed as container parts, which normally would cause excessive losses of anti-plaque action of the antibacterial agent in the composition, but such action is countered by the presence of a stabilizer, such as a terpene, e.g., limonene, in the oral composition formula.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 1994Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignee: Colgate Palmolive CompanyInventors: Abdul Gaffar, Richard S.
