FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine and can be used for making a drug for removing subcutaneous fat. That is ensured by using a composition containing: at least one phospholipid, at least one glycyrrhizic acid or a glycyrrhizic acid salt, and wherein total content of phospholipids and glycyrrhizic acid or its salts makes 2-80 wt % and a weight ratio of phospholipids and glycyrrhizic acid or its salts makes from 30:1 to 0.5:1. The composition can additionally contain additives. As phospholipid, the composition contains animal or herbal phosphatidylcholine. The composition can also contain glycyrrhizic acid or potassium, sodium, ammonium or magnesium salt of glycyrrhizic acid. As an additive, the composition contains sugar, particularly glucose, or maltose, and/or their derivatives, mannitol, sorbitol or lactose. The composition contains phosphatidylcholine in a total amount of 15 to 98 wt %, preferentially 30 to 98 wt %, more preferentially 50 to 98 wt %, especially preferentially 75 to 98 wt %, and most preferentially 75 to 90 wt % of total content of phospholipids. The composition is used in the dry form, preferentially in the form of lyophilisate prepared by freezing and drying, or in the form of a solution. The composition can contain physiologically acceptable solvents, including water, normal saline, glucose solution, such monohydric alcohols, as ethanol, 2-propanol, n-propanol, such polyatomic alcohols, as glycerol and/or propane diol, such polyglycols, as polyethylene glycol and/or Miglyol, glycerol, formal, dimethylisosorbitol, natural and synthetic oils and/or esters. Diseases of subcutaneous fatty tissue can be particularly related to local fat maldistribution. Fatty tissue tumour decomposition and reduction can be also solved. The drug can be presented in the form of cream, ointment, gel, hydrogel, lotion, paste, powder or solution. Undesired unaesthetic and pathological local fat maldistribution involve lipoedema, adipose growth, abdominal adiposis, cellulites, pseudogynecomasty, "buffalo hump" in HIV-infected patients, panniculitis or nonspecific subcutaneous fat deposition. The preparation is administered by subcutaneous, intra-abdominal, intramuscular or intravenous injection. The administration is implemented by a method specified in a group consisting of ioophoresis, electroporetion and phonophoresis.

EFFECT: described invention is successfully used for the above purposes.
