  • Publication number: 20180104346
    Abstract: This invention discloses a bioadhesive boric acid formulation and its preparation method. Specifically, preferred vaginal bioadhesive boric acid formulation mainly comprises chitosan, carbopol 974 , polycarbophil, boric acid, and purified water as a gel. The main performance characteristic of this vaginal boric acid preparation is the ability of the formulation to retain and release boric acid in the vagina by using a combination of carbopol 974 and polycarbophil as preferred bioadhesive polymers. It was proved experimentally that boric acid as the antibacterial component of this gel can be maintained at a relatively high concentration (>10 mg/mL) in vagina for an extended period of time (>2 hours) with the use of a combination of polyacrylic acid polymers, i.e. carbopol 974 and polycarbophil.
