The British pharmacopeia monograph of Zinc castor oil ointment states another name which Zinc castor oil cream, although the formula stated and the method of preparation and evaluation are all clearly of an ointment. Why did the BP mention the two different names of preparations having different pharmaceutical properties for one product in the same monograph?
Thank you Mr. Ali
I'm afraid I can't find a relationship between the API and the type of the pharmaceutical preparation, as one API can be present in preparations of different pharmaceutical properties like creams, ointments, lotions, etc. and you can check that at the Drugs. com site. Note that the BP clearly differentiates between cream and ointment in other monographs for other preparations.
