A topical spray or foam, methods of making the formulation, and methods of use thereof, has been developed. In one preferred embodiment, the composition includes one or more active agents and exhibits both antibacterial activity and antifungal activity. Excipients such as chemical disinfectants, anti-pruritic agents to minimize itching, and skin protective compounds may be added. The composition may be formulated to be dispensed as a spray or foam and the spray or foam may be administered either by a hand pump or by an aerosolizing propellant. A second single phase formulation has also been developed. The formulation comprises a first drug which is water soluble or hydrophilic and a second drug which is lipid soluble or hydrophobic, wherein at least one of the drugs is bound to an ion-exchange resin. The use of binding resins, such as ion-exchange resins, allows drugs with incompatible solvent requirements to be prepared in a single-phase formulation.

A hypodermic syringe and a plurality of single use cartridges able to be successively loaded into said syringe for providing rapid dispensing of a medicant to numerous users without possibility of contamination. The cartridges are continuously fed through the syringe for the quick and efficient inoculation of patients. An operator inserts a needle into a patient by pushing in a trigger. Prior to the needle being inserted into the patient, a disinfectant is dispersed from the cartridge to maintain sterility. An operator then pushes in a plunger forcing the medication through the needle into the patient. The plunger is pulled back into its original location after use. The needle is pulled back with the plunger out of the patient's skin and back into the cartridge. A new cartridge on a clip is then advanced into the syringe for use in inoculating the next patient needing medication. The syringe and cartridge dispenser further maintains a sterile environment during successive vaccinations reducing the transmission of any disease from patient to patient.
