The Standard in Permeation-Enhancing Bases
Lipoderm — the first proprietary permeation-enhancing vehicle in the compounding industry — is now included in the official USP Compounded Preparation Monograph for Ondansetron Compounded Topical Gel (20 mg/mL). It is scientifically proven to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through the skin,* and is supported by an ever-growing portfolio of peer-reviewed journal publications and FormulaPlus™ BUD-studied formulas. It is the ideal base in deep-penetrating topical formulations for local or systemic absorption of APIs. In fact, the patented Lipoderm core technology has also led to the development of an entire line of penetration-enhancing bases.
Benefits of Lipoderm
- Proven delivery: Several studies published in peer-reviewed journals showed percutaneous absorption of a variety of APIs in Lipoderm, including four APIs at one time*
- Increased quality, efficiency and convenience: The most commonly requested Lipoderm formulations are backed by FormulaPlus BUD studies — which evaluate the chemical potency of a formula through forced degradation in a stability-indicating assay — increasing quality and efficiency for the compounder, and convenience for the patient
- Physical stability: It doesn’t separate with refrigeration, resulting in cosmetically elegant and stable preparations
- Better patient experience: It’s smooth, creamy and non-sticky, and it absorbs quickly
*See the “Documents” tab for published, peer-reviewed studies that show percutaneous absorption of active pharmaceutical ingredients in Lipoderm.
