Abstract

Within the last two decades the consumer market has been deluged with a diversity of aerosol products. The acceptability and utility of these products is reflected by the number found in the household and industry.

An antibiotic foam would obviate the necessity of manual application as is the case with the ointment or cream type products. Therefore, there would be less irritation to the already traumatized or infected sites by mechanical, chemical, or bacterial vectors.

Thus, the objective of this research will be to systematically develop suitable aerosol foam systems which contain therapeutically effective topical antibiotics with a subsequent evaluation of their properties.
