Frequently Asked Questions
Pharmgenity Health manufactures a range of pharmaceutical ointments including corticosteroid ointments (Betamethasone with salicylic acid for psoriasis and eczema), combination antibiotic-corticosteroid ointments (Betamethasone with Gentamycin for infected skin conditions), multi-ingredient keratolytic ointments, and topical analgesic ointments (Methyl Nicotinate, Capsicum, Methyl Salicylate for muscular pain).
Ointments are water-in-oil emulsions with higher oil content (typically 80% oil, 20% water), making them thicker, more greasy, and more occlusive than creams. They form a protective barrier on the skin, enhance drug absorption through the stratum corneum, and are ideal for dry, scaly, or chronic skin conditions. Creams are oil-in-water emulsions that are lighter, less greasy, and better for acute or moist skin conditions.
Ointment bases are classified into four categories: hydrocarbon bases (petrolatum, paraffin) for occlusive effect, absorption bases (anhydrous lanolin) that can incorporate water, water-removable bases (oil-in-water emulsions), and water-soluble bases (polyethylene glycol). The choice of base depends on the active ingredient compatibility, desired release profile, and the skin condition being treated.
