  • A. a first antimicrobial agent constituted by Triclosan which is substantially water insoluble and non-cationic;

    B. a second antimicrobial agent which is soluble in water and cationic;

    C. a solubilizer in an amount sufficient to solubilize the Triclosan, the solubilized Triclosan being combined with the second agent to produce a composite that is polar and adsorbed and retained by the diseased tissues to which it is applied whereby the composition exhibits a high degree of substantivity, said composite applied to the diseased tissues being in an amount sufficient to alleviate inflammation thereof and to inhibit enlargement of said lesions.
