Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

There Is an incompatibility between chlorhexidine and Lanette in the following regulation:

urea 5g chlorhexidine 1g Locoid cream 30g Lanette N 12g Glycerin 10g Aqua conservans ad 100g
< br/> We can rub the CR è me with Chlorhexidinediacetate but prefer the chlorhexidine under Dissolved form (gluconate ). Do we replace the ointment base by CETOMACROGOLCR è me?

Answer

There is certainly an incompatibility between chlorhexidine + and lauryl sulfate. So you can here best Lanette N Replace with Cetomacrogol emulsifying wax-see Galensich Formularium -and work with mortar and pestle or ointment spatula. After all, we took from different angles that, when mixing chlorhexidinedigluconate alongside other constituents in Cetomacrogol cream with the Unguator, the creme slacker becomes. And indeed this is described in German literature without explanation. What a pity. They indicate that the decrease in consistency is the same size as the powder (diacetate).
