Question
Posted on: March 6 2013Can and why is salicylic acid added to BV. Diprosone or Betnelan lotion?
Answer
Solution:
The omission of Carbopol from the composition offers a solution. Since both of the active components of the two lotions are available in bulk, the pharmacist should replace the prescribed speciality with their own loco preparation. As a lotion base, the Cetomacrogol lotion from the FN 6 can be recommended. Salicylic acid is mixed with the trituration of the corticosteroid and finely rubbed. Afterwards, the powder mixture is gradually rubbed with the lotion base.
Note:
if the viscosity is found to be too low, then 5 G Vaseline can be added to the composition of the Cetomacrogol lotion with a reduction in the amount of water with 5 G.
