Why Is Base Selection Important?
The base of a compounded preparation does more than hold the active ingredients. It can influence:
- Ease of application
- Patient comfort and cosmetic feel
- Absorption and penetration characteristics
- Stability and compatibility of ingredients
- Adherence to the prescribed treatment plan
Dosage Forms
Topical formulations allow medication to be applied directly to the affected area, providing targeted relief while potentially reducing the need for oral medications.
Cream
A thin topical that quickly absorbs into the skin, when evenly applied.
Lotion
Lighter in texture than a cream, designed to be easily absorbed by your skin.
Ointment
A thicker, heavier topical that absorbs into the skin with a thick consistency.
Spray
Packaged in a non-pressurized bottle with a spray attachment, sprays are used to mist or spray fluids onto the skin.
Topical Solution
Typically lighter and less dense than creams. Generally made from water, alcohol, and other liquids.
Once a dosage form has been selected, an appropriate base or delivery vehicle can be selected based on factors such as ingredient compatibility, formulation stability, route of administration, and patient-specific preferences.
