Oil-in-water emulsion is prepared to form an elegant cream. Carbamazepine in pure powder form is dissolved in propylene glycol (e.g., up to about 95%). Alternatives for the aqueous phase include an alcohol, such as ethanol or isopropanol, with a thickener added for example, carbomer 934 or 940. [Pg.130]

The oil phase preferably includes mineral oil, petrolatum, cetyl alcohol, or stearyl alcohol. Emulsifiers such as polysorbate 80, sorbitan monostearate, or others known in the art may be used. Buffering agents, antioxidants, and chelating agents may be added to improve the characteristics of the formulation. [Pg.130]

Micronize carbamazepine to provide particles with a size distribution primarily below 10 pm. [Pg.130]
