A mixture of solids is provided that, when solubilized, provides an aqueous composition having a lower-than-neutral pH that includes a significant amount of one or more surfactants and large amounts of osmotically active solutes. The solids mixture can be introduced to a wound prior to solubilization.

A flexible ammonia pad configured for mounting on the skin of an individual and for sealing and releasing an ammonia inhalant is provided. The pad includes a first flexible impermeable layer having bottom and top surfaces, an adhesive applied to the bottom surface, an ammonia mixture applied to the top surface, and a second flexible impermeable layer covering the top surface. The second layer has at least one outer edge sealed to the first layer and configured to releasably seal the ammonia mixture between the first and second layers. Preferably the ammonia mixture contains 2-15% of ammonia.

Several embodiments of NO releasing compounds are disclosed. In some embodiments, the structures are covalently modified to store and release nitric oxide. Some embodiments pertain to methods of making and use of these structures. The compounds may be tailored to release nitric oxide in a controlled manner and can be useful, for example, for treating or preventing microbial infections, or reducing the microbial load of a microbial infection.
