Abstract
Antimicrobial compositions useful in the treatment of microbial infections and as general cleansers are provided along with methods for their administration. The antimicrobial compositions are aqueous based and preferably contain a quaternary ammonium compound as a antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial compositions also preferably contain a surfactant such as a cationic, nonionic, or amphoteric surfactant or mixtures thereof. A keratolytic agent, such as allantoin, is also preferably blended into the antimicrobial compositions. The antimicrobial compositions are ideally suited for subcutaneous, cutaneous, or mucosal membrane administration.
