Basics of Compounding for Hair Care--Part I: Medicated Shampoos
Download in electronic PDF format for $75
Abstract: There are several ways to compound shampoos. In many instances, pharmacists choose to use a commercially available shampoo as a starter base and then incorporate the active ingredients. To obtain a more elegant and correct pharmaceutical product at a better cost, however, it is preferable to start by compounding a shampoo base, which should be neutral and easy to prepare. A formulation is provided for such a base; the base can be prepared ahead of time and kept as part of the pharmacy stock. Ingredients active for various indications include ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, and climbazol.
