Semi-solid preparation for cutanaous application(PRAEPARATIONES MOLLES AD USUM DERMICUM ) (Ph.Eur. IV.)
„Semi-solid preparations for cutaneous application are
intended for local or transdermal delivery of active substance
or for their emollient or protective action. They are of
homogeneous appearance.
Semi-solid preparations of cutaneous application consist of a
simple or compound basis in which usually 1 or more activesubstance are dissolved or dispersed. According to its
composition, the basis may influence the activity of
preparation.”

Typical material used for their formulation are:
hard solid and light liquid paraffins,
vegetable oils,
animal fats,
synthetic glycerides,
waxes,

2., Ointments emulsifying water :
can absorb larger amounts of water and thereby produce water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions after homogenization, dependingon the nature of the emulsifiers:
w/o emulsifying agents: wool alcohols, sorbitan esters,
monoglycerides, fatty alcohols
o/w emulsifying agents : sulphated fatty alcohols, polysorbates,

CLASSIFICATION OF MEDICAL OINTMENTS
The medical ointments can be classified accordingto many aspect.
According to the nature of effect:
- covering or protective ointments,
- wound ointments,
- ointments capable for penetration,- ointments capable for resorption.
Is penetration needed, or not?

Principals of absorption through skin
The absorption is carried out by passive diffusion.The percutaneous absorption can be divided into 4 steps:
1. liberation: API diffusion onto skin surface,
2. penetration: API diffusion into epidermis,3. permeation: The API diffuses from a layer of skin into
another structurally and functionally different layer
4. resorption: The approach of systemic circulation by the
API.

SPECIFICATIONS OF OINTMENT STRUCTURE
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF GEL STRUCTURE
Pharmacopoeia:
The ointments, creams, gels generally behave according to their
structure as viscous-elastic material and have the properties specific for
non-newtonian fluid, such as the plastic, pseudoplastic or
thixotropic yield/flow occurring after the high shear stress.
The most frequently experienced phenomenon specific for pastes is
dilatation.

•
If the active substance does not degrade on the meltingtemperature of ointment materials, and it does not separate fromointment in case of appropriately long storage, then with activesubstance and ointment materials solution-based ointment willbe prepared.
• In the case of the active substance is not soluble in the ointmentmaterial, but in purified water or other inert solvent can bedissolved, and solution can be prepared, which has to be asstabile not to separate from the ointment during storage time. In
this cases the solution form of active substance can be emulsified- in a quantity of at most 5% of total mass-into ointmentmaterials.
• The used solvent must not been evaporated, and the quantity has
to be subtracted from total mass!!!

If solution of active substance can not be prepared,
then as a fine powder (160 μm) with a geometric
dilution is suspended with the particle part of the
ointment material, with inert liquid properly to theconsistency for ointment.

prepared in mortar.If a wet grinding agent is needed, it can be used but
the quantity of excipients has to subtract form the

PREPARATION OF OINTMENTS
• In case of semi-solid preparation for cutanaous
application the powder form („pulvis”- 160-63 μm shievefine) is used for the preparation method. (not the
crystallisatum form)
• At the preparation of water containing (mostly the o\w
type emulsion-based ointments) after the total cooling,the evaporated water must be replaced, just after this can
be filled into plastic container.
•
In case of o\w type ointments the fatty phase have to bemelted, which can be carried out by using infralamp or
water-bath without exceeding 70-80 ºC.
• The heating is performed in the most careful , and the
shortest time which is enough.

• The components of the particular phase should be puttogether to heat, or to melt.
• Emulsion-based ointments should be mixed carefully,because foam can be created.
• Geometric dilution
• Volatile solvent never be used, because after evaporationthe active ingredient is going to crystallize
• Before adding volatile oil, the ointment has to be cooled
down.• Humectant excipients should be added to the drying
quickly o\w emulsion-based basic ointment (approx. 2-5%).
