And why do we do it? Is a cream formula prescribed by a dermatologist the same as a commercial cream? Can a pharmacy prepare a cream well? In the following text I answer these and other questions on this topic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPor-que-mi-dermatologo-me-receta-una-locion-o-crema-para-que-la-haga-en-la-farmacia\"><\/span>Why does my dermatologist prescribe a lotion or cream for me to make at the pharmacy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The magistral formula has been classically used in dermatology and even today, with the large number of treatment creams and cosmetic products marketed, it continues to occupy a place in skin therapy. We usually prescribe a master formulation <strong>when we do not find or know a cream on the market that meets the needs<\/strong> treatment that we want to prescribe for a patient&#039;s dermatological condition at a given time. And not only do we prescribe creams, but also the magisterial formulation includes<strong> tablets<\/strong> (oral treatment).<\/p>\n<p>We can summarize it in the following <strong>Table, <\/strong>adapted from S\u00e1nchez-Rega\u00f1a et al.<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No such drug or cream is marketed (not manufactured, out of stock, withdrawn from the market, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>This formula facilitates the administration and compliance of the treatment by the patient.<\/li>\n<li>The formula allows to eliminate excipients or compounds that cause allergies.<\/li>\n<li>The formula allows the active ingredients to be graduated and adapted to the patient.<\/li>\n<li>The formula increases the effectiveness of the treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFSe-utilizan-mucho-las-formulas-magistrales-o-las-cremas-personalizadas\"><\/span>Are master formulas or personalized creams widely used?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dermatology is possibly the medical specialty in which they are used the most, since the variability of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webconsultas.com\/curiosidades\/principio-activo-medicamentos-genericos-y-de-marca-diferencias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">active principles<\/a>, vehicles and their way of optimizing each patient is extensive. Traditionally, compounding has been associated with ancient medicine, and in countries like Germany it represents approximately 4% of medical prescriptions worldwide. In the case of dermatology, this percentage is possibly higher.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFComo-es-una-receta-para-una-formula-maestra\"><\/span>What does a recipe for a master formula look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is a recipe in which dermatologists will prescribe one or more active ingredients, the percentage of each one of them, the base or the vehicle where they will be included and the necessary amount.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEn-que-se-diferencia-una-formula-elaborada-en-la-farmacia-de-una-crema-comercial\"><\/span>How is a formula made in the pharmacy different from a commercial cream?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It differs above all in that in them I find what I want or what I consider best to treat the patient at that time and that I do not find it commercialized.
