MINOXIDYL COMPOSITIONS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61K31/506 A61Q7/00 A61K9/06 A61K9/08 A61P17/14 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with new compositions in the form of a single-stage gel that contains minoxidyl, a thickening agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. The composition contains 3-8 weight% minoxidyl. Noncarbometric thickening agent is not a heterobiopolysaccharide or cellulose derivative. Carbometric thickening agent being tolerant to a solvent is not a carbometer of Carbopol 934P type. Minoxidyl is practically solubilized in the composition. It is, also, described the method for preparing minoxidyl-containing composition. Also, the present innovation deals with the ways of treating or preventing alopecia in patients, moreover, these methods deal with local application of these compositions at the site of alopecia according to the innovation suggested. Thus, it is possible to obtain a single-phase composition by its consistence of moderate viscosity that could be obtained upon conventionally applied equipment.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of application.
