ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to an enteral pharmaceutical preparation.
BACKGROUND TO INVENTION
Many people all over the world suffer from the condition known as psoriasis.
The skin of human beings is constantly being renewed. Thereby, as fast as dead cells in the outermost skin layer or epidermis are shed, they are being replaced by cells from the base of the epidermis. Psoriasis takes place when this procedure of replacement becomes “unbalanced”, that is when the production of new cells increases while the shedding of dead cells remains normal. This has as consequence that the live cells accumulate and produce sections of inflamed, thickened skin covered by scales. Some persons suffer from extensive affected skin areas, which is unpleasant to view and causes discomfort.
Various creams, ointments, injections and UV light treatments are known for treating psoriasis. However, there is no complete cure for psoriasis and none of the treatments appear to have any lasting effects on the vast majority of sufferers, and many of the remedies cause undesirable side effects.
Even though the condition of psoriasis has been medically identified for more than 100 years, no satisfactory treatment or cure has been found.
Worldwide, more and more people develop psoriatic symptoms, with the highest rate of increase observed in the “developed industrialised” world.
It is an object of the invention to suggest a novel enteral pharmaceutical preparation for treatment of psoriasis, as well as other dermatological disorders.
