Posted on: June 9 2015Ointment base with Elocom lipophilic Creme seems incompatible
Answer
It is not easy to answer your question because we do not know the doctor's wishes. He probably beats the fact that Elocom is a W/O cream over the head. But his prescription is completely changing the nature of the preparation!
Elocom Lipophilic Cream has the following composition
Elocom 0.1% lipophilic Cream: The active ingredient is mometasonfuroate 1 mg/g.-The other ingredients are: White petroleum jelly, white beeswax, phosphatidylcholine, Hexyleenglycol, titanium dioxide, aluminium octenylsuccinate starch, diluted Phosphoric acid, purified water
We have to do here with a W/O cream, which should be processed in an O/W cream. I would add to the composition an additional amount O/W emulsifier as after lauryl sulfate or even better after cetylstearyl sulfate. Presumably 1 gram is sufficient?
Wants The Doctor retains the W/O character otherwise it has to be proceeded.
