Bentonite compound - Clay (tikha) Ascane, which is permitted for medical application by the ministries of Health of Georgia and Russia for treatment of gastroenterological and dermatological diseases has been developed and investigated at the institute of Pharmaco-chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Georgia. Ascancol - aqueous gel of Tikha-ascane, is used as a drying and anti-inflammatory remedy for treatment of skin ulcer, burns, skin chafing and bedsores. It is also used as an antacid and absorbent. Tikha-ascane does not cause allergy and skin sensibilization. The medication has a property of masking unpleasant tastes. Regarding all these, it is prospective to use Tikha-ascane and Ascancol for prevention and treatment of mucous membrane diseases.
