Abstract

Intractable pain is ameliorated by the topical application proximate the situs of the pain of an analgesic amount of a liquid mixture of DMSO and of biphenamine in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, the concentration of DMSO and biphenamine in the mixture each being ineffective to ameliorate the pain when applied separately from the other to the situs. The mixture is also useful for the amelioration of pathological conditions of the skin and other topical areas of the body caused by viral, bacterial, fungal and other microorganism infections and localized inflammatory conditions generally which cause itching or pain.
