Products
Excipial Crème was approved in many countries in 1977 (Spirig, Egerkingen). Distribution was discontinued by Galderma in 2019. The cream was often used as a basis for the preparation of extemporaneous preparations, which are prepared in pharmacies according to a doctor’s prescription. For this purpose, the cream was mixed with other preparations and with active ingredients. Similar products are available as substitutes. However, when changing the base, the question of compatibility, miscibility, release and stability arises.
