Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

We got a prescription from an ophthalmologist stating: Zinc-ichtyolcrème with cotton swab on eyelid rim applying left eye.

Should this creme be prepared sterile? How do we work best?

Answer

I propose the following composition:
ZnO 25g
Lanette O 5g
ichtammol 5g
wool grease 20g
water 20g
liquid paraffin 20g
vaseline up to 100g
This CR è me should not be prepared sterile. She is not supposed to get into the eye.
