Abstract:
The present paper reports the results of a survey of contemporary medical prescriptions of solutions, suspensions and emulsions used in dermatological practice. The obtained results were compared with the district prescription lists from Slovakia. The analysis of contemporary prescription was carried out in 27 districts in the years 1987 and 1989. The results show that 112 drugs are prescribed in the preparation of solutions. Most solutions are composite and 90% of solutions are hydrophilic. An analysis of suspensions revealed that in hydrophilic suspensions the liquid media water-glycerol or spirit-water prevail, and in hydrophobic suspensions nearly always plant oils are used. Emulsions are represented in topical extemporaneous preparations in a smaller amount than solutions and suspensions; it is 0.7% in the set under study.
