As a protective agent for mucosa and skin, also as an adhesive paste base for the incorporation of additional drugs (e.g. corticosteroids tretinoin, zinc oxide).

The hydrophobic matrix contains the water-soluble swelling agent Hypromellose 2000 a cellulose derivative. The hypromellulose is embedded as solid particles in the hydrophobic base and swells on contact with the moist mucosa. This leads to a strong adhesion to the mucosa. The solubility of the water-free base is low. Pharmaceuticals can be incorporated in very finely powdered form or microfine.
