The first stated problem is solved by a method the basic liquid used in the known pharmaceutical composi according to the characteristics of the patent claim 1 and the tion is foamed exclusively by mechanical action. The basic further problem, which is mentioned subsequently, is solved liquid composition that is mechanically foamed contains, as by a topically applicable composition with the features of the ingredients, a surfactant as the foaming agent, a solvent or preamble of the patent claim 9. mixture of solvents, as well as a pharmaceutical active ingre 0011. In the inventive method of development of a liquid dient, wherein this known liquid composition should be pharmaceutical composition to be applied as a foam to the foamable simply by mechanical action, without the use of a skin, having as minimum components a solvent, a pharma propellant. In example 5 of EPO 510561 B1, one such known ceutical active ingredient, and a foaming agent, the method composition is described, containing an aqueous alkylamido includes foam volume and the foam stability to be determined betaine solution as the Surfactant. In addition, the composi by a standardized SITA measurement method, wherein no tion described in this example is provided with lecithin, propellant is used in this measurement method. In the pro which serves solely to form liposomes. vided liquid pharmaceutical composition, the at least one 0003. In order to be able to measure the foaming behavior foaming agent, the at least one solvent and the at least one of liquid compositions, various measurement techniques are pharmaceutical active ingredient are varied in regard to their known and also standardized, such as by DIN Standard chemical nature and/or concentration until the foam created 53902. The particular liquid composition being investigated by the SITA measurement method understandardized condi is subjected to a more or less reproducible mechanical action tions has a foam volume of at least 400 ml, especially a foam for a given time in order to create a foam, whose Volume and volume between 450 and 1400 ml, and preferably a foam stability are measured.
