Question
Posted on: April 16 2013Are there alternatives to Comperlan KD and Eumulgin O5, which are part of my bath oil
Answer
I fear that for Comperlan KD it will be difficult to propose an alternative. for the replacement of Eumulgin O5 the mixture 1:1 of Arlacel 83 and Tween 20 could be used. This mixture has the same HLB value as Eumulgin O5 and the emulsifiers are on the list of reimbursable substances. But whether the operation is the same, the use will have to show. Also with the emulsifiers set Arlacel C and Cetiol HE (respectively 36 and 39 g for 500 ml bath oil), the HLB of 9.6 of Eumulgin O5 can be obtained, according to Apoth; T. Van Schoubroeck. Another possibility, sent to me by Apoth J. Peeters, is the use of Softigen 767, which is still reimbursed by the RIZIV.
