Multiphase preparations consisting of an outer (lipophilic) and an inner (aqueous) phase. They contain water-in-oil emulsifiers such as wool wax, sorbitan esters, monoglycerides and often antioxidants to protect the fatty phase against peroxide formation. They can, but do not have to be preserved.

Pharmacodynamics (Effect)
This section has been translated automatically.

Oily cream due to the lipophilic outer phase even with a higher water content. Moisture-impermeable covering of the treated skin areas with maceration of the str. corneum (accumulating effect, as the flow of skin moisture is directed inwards). Hydrophobic creams are not washable and show a typical greasy shine on the skin.

Indication
This section has been translated automatically.

Chronic stage of dermatosis, dry skin.

Incompatibility

  • Inhomogeneities can be caused by active ingredients such as aluminium chloride, ammonium bituminosulphonate, amphotericin B, bacitracin, benzalkonium chloride, benzyl alcohol, cetylpyridinium chloride, chloramine T, chlorphenoxamine HCl, chlortetracycline-HCl, dimetinden maleate, diphenhydramine HCl, dithranol, eucalyptol, potassium iodide, Liq. alum. acet.., Liq. carb. detergent, menthol, lactic acid, sodium chloride, benzyl nicotinate, oxytetracycline HCl, phenol liquefact., Pix betulin, Pix juniper, Pix lithanth., polidocanol, pyrogallol, resorcinol, tetracycline HCl, Tinct. Myrrh., tyrothricin and undecylenic acid.
  • Pyrogallol, silver nitrate and tetracycline-HCl lead to colour changes.
  • Processing W/O emulsion ointments with O/W emulsion ointments or lotions (O/W emulsions) usually leads to breaking of the W/O emulsion.
  • Aluminium chloride and ammonium bituminosulfonate lead to liquefaction.
  • Chloramine T causes an odour change.
