The pharmacy where I’m currently doing my placement is a compounding pharmacy complete with a fully stocked compounding lab. Now I’ve made compounds in my phamaceutics labs before but those get marked then thrown in the trash. Today however I made my first compound that will actually be used by a patient. Exciting! The formulation was simple:
6% Sulfur
2% Salicylic acid
in aqueous cream.
The last time I worked with sulfur was in my pharmaceutics exam and my product was grainy. I made sure that didn’t happen this time around. They gave me free reign of the compounding lab and unlimited time so I really took care to make a nice product – it was definitely pharmaceutically elegant.

what is aq cream exactly?
"Pharmaceutically elegant".
I told you that you'd get me again! :)
So how exactly did you make sure this one wasn't grainy? Do share your secret, as I will eventually have to do the same thing!
Aqueous cream is a simple cream which is a good base. Nothing special.
Nice entry . . . very interesting to us lay people . . .
Kewl, bro.
I hope all is well. I spoke with Claire for her 18th. Crazy...
Mum also sounds pretty good these days.
Give me a shout soon. My school is going on strike starting next week. Super-gay, as we might have to re-do our year!
Love,
Wince.
