Stronger and More Durable, Still Just as Soft

Lipoderm ActiveMax is based on the the popular and trusted base Lipoderm. PCCA engineered a way to improve the active ingredient carrying capacity of Lipoderm, which is often needed when compounding topical medications for patients with conditions such as neuropathic pain.

Benefits of Lipoderm ActiveMax

  • Allows for a reduction of the amount of cream applied, allowing medications to last longer
  • More durable against environmental extremes
  • Noncomedogenic
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Nonirritating
  • Odor-free
  • Contains natural emulsifiers


Your Voice Matters

When reviewing the needs of our membership, we found more and more pharmacies using higher percentages of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in permeation-enhancing creams. Members told us that the need for higher active-ingredient concentrations is due to two primary reasons:

  1. Physicians prescribing increased amounts of multiple drugs in one cream
  2. Desire for higher single active-ingredient percentages to reduce the amount of cream that patients need to apply

In addition, many members were seeing issues with the creams separating when exposed to environmental extremes, such as when they ship medications or when patients carry their creams with them outside the house. Lipoderm ActiveMax addresses these challenges without sacrificing the cosmetically elegant feel of Lipoderm.
