  • Publication number: 20130171198
    Abstract: There is proposed herein a process for production of composite antimicrobial and vulnerary preparations for external administration, featuring a higher therapeutic efficiency in case of skin and soft tissues infections treatment. The proposed compositions include an active agent being fosfomycin and finely dispersed nanostructured silica dioxide, with a weight ratio of (25-75 mass. %):(75-25 mass. %) respectively. The mentioned production process includes mixing fosfomycin with finely dispersed nanostructured silica dioxide. The process is distinct in that the mixture of aforementioned substances with the mentioned weight ratio is exposed to mechanical processing by blow impact and abrasive actions until a portion of the fine powder fraction with particles smaller than 5 micrometers, contained in the mixture, increases to at least 40%.

  • Publication number: 20130164336
    Abstract: There is proposed herein a process for production of composite antimicrobial preparations for parenteral administration, featuring a higher therapeutic efficiency in case of grave infection and inflammatory diseases. The proposed compositions include an active agent being fosfomycin and finely dispersed nanostructured silica dioxide, with a weight ratio from 10:1 to 75:1 respectively. The mentioned production process includes mixing fosfomycin with finely dispersed nanostructured silica dioxide. Its main difference is that the mixture of aforementioned substances with the mentioned weight ratio is exposed to mechanical processing by blow impact and abrasive actions until a portion of the fine powder fraction with particles smaller than 5 micrometers, contained in the mixture, increases to at least 25%. The so obtained mixture is used for injection preparations.
