[Topical drug vehicles--influence of galenics in the therapy of atopic eczema]

Abstract

Properties of a drug for cutaneous application strongly depend on its vehicle. The appropriate excipient should be chosen according to the skin disease and site of application. There are several products for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, which differ in their content of water, lipids and emulsifiers, thus affecting the penetration into the skin. Therefore, individually produced drugs according to the NRF exhibit the optimal features for an individual drug therapy.
