Question
Posted on: November 19 2015How do I prepare a lanettewax cream with a high concentration of lipophilic medicines
R/Methylsalicylate 15 g; Camphor 20 g; Menthol 1 G; Lanettewascrème AD 100 g
The concentrations of methylsalicylate and camphor seem high in this?
Answer
There will be a reduction in the consistency of the cream caused by the high concentration of lipophilic medicines, which would lower the stolpoint of the Lanettewax. Therefore, we are going to appeal to a lanettewax cream with a higher content of lanettewax such as e.g. alcohol Ceto-Stearylicus aquosum B 25 g, glycerin 5 G, sorbic acid 200 mg and purified water up to 100 g
