TOPICAL DELIVERY OF VISCOUS MEDICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC SINUSITIS

摘要

A medication or combination of medications for the treatment of a disease involving the sinuses is incorporated into a sterile medical gel. The viscosity of the gel or the adhesion of the gel to the patient's sinus cavity allows the gel to be maintained in the cavity for a sufficient length of time for treatment of the affected area. This reduces the amount of wasted medication that would otherwise result from other topical methods.
