Wax foamable vehicle and pharmaceutical compositions thereof
First Claim
1. A foamble composition comprising a carrier and a liquefied hydrocarbon gas propellant, wherein the carrier comprises:
- a) a liquid wax comprising at least one fatty acid and/or at least one fatty alcohol;
b) a non-ionic surface active agent; and
c) water;
wherein the ratio of the carrier to the gas propellant is about 100;
3 by weight to about 100;
35 by weight;
wherein, upon release from a pressurized container, the foamable composition produces a breakable foam;
wherein the carrier does not comprise a polymeric agent selected from the group consisting of a bioadhesive agent, a gelling agent, a film forming agent, and a phase change agent.
