used

55
Q

Maxims to be observed when compounding
and dispensing ointments:

A

»They should always be homogenous, smooth and free from grittines
»They should never be dispensed if they have the slight evidence of rancidity or molds
»Ointments containing free acids, iodine, , mercury or
tannin should not be rubbed with iron or steel spatula on
account of chemical reaction with metal
» In removing ointments from the stock jar always scrape from the surface
. Digging into the ointment jar
leaves a greater area exposed, thus increasing
the possibility of rancidity, growth of mold and
water loss.
»Water-containing ointments should be of
recent preparation, dispensed in moderate amounts
in glass containers with good closures
»Use of spatula or finishing blade for the
sake of appearance and to avoid contact of the
ointment with the cap or liner
»They should be dispensed in opal glass or
porcelain jars or much better in collapsible tubes.
»Ointments on prescription are always directed
by weight
