Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions and methods useful for the treatment of ear disorders, administered to a treated ear in the form of a foam or a mousse. Administering a medicament in such forms will increase the residence time of the medicament in the ear canal, provide relatively uniform distribution of the composition, and can increase the penetration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in the affected area, may release active substances slowly, enhance treatment effectiveness, increase compliance and is more convenient to use than currently available ear medications. The administration in the form of a foam or a mousse may preferably be provided as a metered dose, of a volume suitable to fill the ear canal.
