Abstract
A means and method for treating inflamed mucosal tissues topically with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is described. The NSAID is incorporated into a substantive film forming aqueous based carrier system consisting of a water dispersible natural cellulosic polymer and an organic acid. The NSAID composition may further include a water soluble or water hydratable viscosity enhancing agent and/or a plasticizer. The NSAID topical composition is especially effective in treating pain associated with vulvodynia or vulvar vestibulitis.
