Question 1

can i use biafine topical emulsion to help heal an inflammatory pimple or pih?

Accepted Answer

Good drug: I like biafene for many purposes and this is a good one.

Question 2

will scott's emulsion interfere with my arv's ?

Accepted Answer

Cod liver oil: Being unfamiliar, I had to look up "Scott's Emulsion". It's a version of cod liver oil plus other vitamins. It has no health benefit in healthy, well nourished persons. (It doesn't sound like it tastes very good!) But if you continue to take it, there should be no interference with your ARV treatment. Good luck.

In an cleansing emulsion they are both in liquid form whereas in cleansing foam one is liquid and the other is in a gaseous base.

Question 5

which skin conditions suits to use emulsion?

Accepted Answer

Not relevant: Emulsions are vehicles for delivering medication to the skin, just like creams, ointments, lotions, etc. Emulsions allow manufacturers to mix liquids that ordinarily do not mix well, such as oil and water. If you are asking which medications are available in emulsions, there are many, for a wide variety of skin conditions.

Question 6

which is the order of mixing of oil, acacia, and water in making an emulsion?

Accepted Answer

Order not important: The process of emulsification is generally not order dependent.  The acacia is the emulsifier which will bind the oil and water phases.  You must add enough acacia in order for this to occur. Also the ration between oil and water should be about 1:3.

Question 7

which is the order of mixing of oil, acacia, and water in the dry-gum method of making an emulsion?

Accepted Answer

Prednicarbate: Prednicarbate is a relatively new topical steroid. Depending on the amount ingested, i presume it was minute, likely nothing will happen.

Question 8

i was just prescribed katarya emulsion for malasma on my face. will this prescription or its ingredient hydroquinone pose a risk of flaring up new spots of vitiligo where applied? i have 3-4 spots of present vitiligo on my body, none on face?

Accepted Answer

: Hydroquinone will not cause vitiligo but there have been reports of it occasionally causing increased pigmentation. You should avoid the sun and use sunscreen while you are using it.

Question 9

my daughter chanri is 2 years and 4 months. she has been having a runny nose for about 2 weeks i give xyzol, creche gaurd and scotts emulsion everyday. on friday dischem gave me dimetapp to stop her runny nose. she now has a bad cough?

Accepted Answer

Basics: Studies more than a decade ago found cough/cold preparations given to kids do little more than give you something to do. The frequency of ER visits from overdoses led to the end of their use in pre-school kids. Recent data confirms a teaspoon of honey is more effective for cough. Kids wit illness for weeks should be evaluated.

Accepted Answer

: There is note enough in this question to make an informed opinion or diagnosis, I suggest you get a full exam from a Ophthalmologist to address these questions.
