Vaginal suppositories frequently used in gynaecological therapy were studied. Several antibacterial pharmacons are used for the topical treatment of vaginitis of various origins. In view of the fact that the liberation of the given active substance and the subsequent therapeutic effect may be improved or inhibited by the vehicle, our aim was to find the optimal suppository base for vaginal suppositories containing sulfadimidine, chloramphenicol and gentamicin sulfate by means of in vitro experiments. On the basis of breaking hardness, disintegration time and spreading properties the French Suppocire NA product, and compositions of macrogols with lower molecular weight proved to be the best lipophilic and hydrophilic bases, respectively. Among the lipophilic bases the in vitro drug liberation of Suppocire NA was significantly better (P < 0.05) than the other lipophilic bases. This vehicle is recommended for the topical treatment of vaginitis, as these suppositories have the further advantage that they can easily be produced on a magistral, galenical or industrial scale as well.
