Posted on: March 6 2013How do I best prepare an ointment with 50% DMSO?
Answer
Solution 1:
DMSO 50Solution 2:
Lanette SX 7.5
Fluib. Paraffin wax 6.25
White petroleum jelly 11.25
Propylene glycol 5
Water 20
DMSO 50Solution 3:
Carbomeer gel TMF 50
DMSO 50 gPreparation: disperse Carbopol in petroleum jelly and mix this mixture with the non ionogenic emulsifying ointment. Mix this whole with DMSO, in sections.
Carbopol 1 g
Petroleum Jelly 3 G
non ionogenic emulsifying ointment FN V 46 g
Note: with the proposed prescription an emulsiecr è me with finer structure as without carbomeer arises. This makes this CR è more resistant to temperature fluctuations. The non-ionogenic emulsifying ointment is preferable to a hydrogel because the skin is less dehydrated and the surrounding skin is better protected. Processing of DMSO in Lanette-(e.g. Beelerbasis) or CETOMACROGOLCR è me gives an unstable preparation.
