How to add LCD to betamethasone dipropionate oily cream without breaking the cream?

Betamethasone dipropionate 65mg
Liquor carbonis detergent 5g
Salicylic Acid powder 5g
emulsify 83 6g
Vaseline White 54g
Water ad 100g < br/>

Answer

Given the increase in the concentration of Arlacel did not give a solution I would follow the following, albeit more cumbersome, procedure.

Tarreer a metal bowl with pestle and weigh af 10g starch. Add LCD, mix and let the alcohol evaporate, possibly under the warm airflow of a hair dryer. Stir regularly. Determine the mass of the powder in the bowl (= M). Transfer the powder Mass in the bowl to a weighing paper.

Weigh the amount of betamethasondiprop. and salicylic acid. Apply the Betamethasondiprop. In the bowl and mix first with salicylic acid and then with the starch + LCD.

Melts in a beaker 54g petroleum jelly together with 10g Arlacel 83. Add (100-5-64-M) G warm water and emulsifying. Let cool.

Transfer the W/O cream into fractions in the bowl and Rmeng with the powder mixture after each addition to a homogeneous cream.
