Abstract

There is disclosed a system comprising a fluid reservoir, a liquid solution within the reservoir, the solution comprising an antibiotic of the lincomycin family, a spray nozzle, a spray activator, and a tubular connection connecting the spray nozzle and the fluid reservoir.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a fluid reservoir;

a liquid solution within the reservoir, the solution comprising an antibiotic of the lincomycin family;

a spray nozzle;

a spray activator; and

a tubular connection connecting the spray nozzle and the fluid reservoir.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein a quantity of the liquid solution is adapted to be transported from the fluid reservoir to the spray nozzle when the spray activator is engaged.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the quantity comprises from about 0.05 to about 0.5 milliliters for each activation of the spray activator.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the antibiotic comprises clindamycin phosphate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.

5. The system of claim 1, the liquid solution further comprising a peroxide.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the peroxide comprises benzoyl peroxide.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the liquid solution has a viscosity from about 0.01 to about 100 centipoise.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the spray activator comprises a manual pump.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the liquid solution has a viscosity from about 0.1 to about 10 centipoise.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the fluid reservoir has a capacity from about 20 to about 100 milliliters.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the fluid reservoir has a capacity from about 30 to about 60 milliliters.

12. A method for the treatment of one or more areas of acne vulgaris on a chest or a back of a patient comprising:

activating a spray activator; and

spraying a quantity a liquid solution comprising an antibiotic of the lincomycin family on the one or more areas.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the quantity comprises from about 0.05 to about 0.5 milliliters for each activation of the spray activator.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising spraying at least twice daily.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising spraying at least once a day for a period of at least 2 weeks.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the liquid solution further comprises benzoyl peroxide.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the liquid solution has a pH of about 4 to about 6.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the liquid solution comprises about 1 to about 30 weight percent benzoyl peroxide and about 0.01 to about 5 weight percent clindamycin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.
