Pharmaceutical substances, dermatological, indicative concentrations
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
When prescribing external drugs (see below) , it is of primary importance to adhere to the recommended concentrations of the drug to be incorporated. The commission "Magistral Prescriptions" of the Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft (German Dermatological Society) has listed therapeutic reference concentrations for the following listed medicinal products. The physician should indicate the exceeding of these concentrations by a special note. If such a note is missing, the pharmacy should evaluate the concentration as ambiguity and consult before preparation.
