Abstract
A biologically active stick composition comprising a biologically active agent dissolved in a carrier system including an unsaturated fatty acid alcohol in mutual dissolution with an alkylene glycol as a solvent for said biologically active agent and a stiffening agent therefor, said stiffening agent imparting stick consistency to the composition, said alkylene glycol preferably being present in an amount of more than 12%. The composition can be prepared by dissolving the active agent in the solvent, combining the solution with the stiffening agent and shaping the formulation into a stick. The composition is especially intended for use as a medicament, preferably in the treatment of dermatological conditions, where it has been found to possess outstanding bioavailability properties.
