•Defintion:
An ointment is a homogeneous,
viscous, semi-solid preparation,
most commonly a greasy, thick oil
(oil 80% - water 20%) with a high
viscosity, that is intended for
external application to the skin or
mucous membranes.
2.They avoid first pass metabolism
of drug.
3. Convenient for unconscious
patients having difficulty in oral
administration.
5. They are suitable dosage forms for
bitter taste drugs.
4. Comparatively they are chemically
more stable and easy to handle than
liquid dosage forms.
Machine used for the manufacturing
of iontments:
1.Iontment manufacturing plant.
2. Tube filling machine.
Iontment manufacturingPlant
2.Hydration of aqueous phase
ingredients. Emulsifiers, thickeners
and stabilizers are dispersed into water
in a separate vessel. Heating may be
required to accelerate hydration.
3.Forming the Emulsion. The two
phases are blended under vigorous
agitation to form the emulsion.
4.Dispersion of the Active
Ingredient. The active ingredient
often makes up only a small
proportion of the formulation; this
must be efficiently dispersed to
maximize yield and product
effectiveness.
DRAWBACKS:
1. These oily semisolid preparations
are staining and cosmetically less
aesthetic.
2. Application with finger tip may
contaminate the formulation or cause
irritation when applied.
3. As compared to solid dosage forms,
semisolid preparations are bulky to
handle.
4. Though semisolids allow more
flexibility in dose, dose accuracy is
determined by uniformity
in the quantity to be applied.
5. Physico-chemically less stable than
solid dosage forms
