example 1

[0172]15 g of liquid paraffin and 84.99 g of white petrolatum are placed in a mortar and are mixed and kneaded until uniform. This is followed by addition of 0.01 g of micronized vancomycin hydrochloride and the resulting mixture is thoroughly kneaded to form a homogenous topical ointment containing 0.01% of vancomycin hydrochloride.

example 2

[0173]15 g of liquid paraffin and 83.9 g of white petrolatum are placed in a mortar and are mixed and kneaded until uniform. This is followed by addition of 1.1 g of micronized vancomycin hydrochloride and the resulting mixture is thoroughly kneaded to form a homogenous topical ointment containing 1.1% of vancomycin hydrochloride.

example 3

[0174]15 g of liquid paraffin and 80 g of white petrolatum are placed in a mortar and are mixed and kneaded until uniform. This is followed by addition of 5 g of micronized vancomycin hydrochloride and the resulting mixture is thoroughly kneaded to form a homogenous topical ointment containing 5% of vancomycin hydrochloride.
