Abstract
An important issue in the treatment of vaginitis is the amount of time the drug remains on the vaginal mucosa. If the contact time is too short, the drug cannot work effectively to ensure the correct pH in the vaginal environment. This study evaluated formulations of globules containing sodium alginate, lactic acid and chitosan with different pH and rheological properties. The experimental studies revealed that it is possible to produce a preparation with optimal pharmaceutical and application properties. The use of an appropriate ratio of lactic acid to chitosan in the complex and the appropriate concentration of sodium alginate produces a preparation with excellent properties to coat the surface of the vaginal mucosa.
期刊介绍：
Progress in the Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives is an annual journal focused on all aspects of production, modification, enzymology and application of chitin and its many derivatives, including chitosan. The journal publishes full-length papers as well as invited reviews. To be considered, papers must present original research that has not been published or accepted for publication elsewhere. The language of the journal will be English.
