Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

We have some questions related to the following preparation: Colloidal silver 15% Vaseline AD 30 gr

We prepare the ointment as follows: Weigh 4.5 gr. Collo ï descend silver and add water up to 6 gr. Rub and add 24 g Vaseline.
can we add water in this preparation? Then we do not disperse an aqueous solution of Coll. Silver in a mass of Vaseline mass. And then the Coll. Silver is not enclosed in a fat mass, which means that it is not therapeutically released and has a reduced effect?

Answer

All that you write is correct and its possible hypotheses. In addition, there is also the technical aspect. I suspect that without water the inlining of Cameron in petroleum jelly will not be so easy? I'm not saying impossible. In any case, the view will be completely different. I can refer to a formula from the French Formular National (older edition):
Collargol 15 g
water 15 g
wool grease and petroleum jelly AA 35 g.
It seems to me what the choice of the bump or the bluts. I think the original formula with the water then remains the best solution.
