II. Read and translate the text: Ointments
Yesterday the students of the University attended the lecture on the theme “Ointments”. If they had not come to this lecture yesterday they wouldn’t know about the ointment basis, usage and package now.
A professor said that ointments are soft, semisolid preparations usually containing medicaments and are intended to be applied externally to the body or to mucous membranes. There are several types of ointment basis. Ointment basis containing animal fats, vegetable oils or hydrocarbons such as petroleum jelly or liquid petrolatum are designated as oleaginous basis. A base consisting primarily of a mixture of animal sterols with petrolatum jelly is classified as an absorption base. Ointment bases which are prepared from the higher ethylene glycol polymers and are soft, waxy solids similar in consistency to petroleum jelly are known as a water soluble type.
Based on their penetration, ointment bases have been placed into three classes: epidermic (petrolatum, waxes, and their combinations), endodermic (vegetable oils, wool fat, lanolin and their combinations) and diadermic (emulsions and water soluble bases).
Until recently, ointments and ointment type products were packaged in glass, stoneware, porcelain, polyethylene, or plastic wide-mouth jars. Since a large area of the ointment was exposed to the effect of air, those ointments containing easily oxidized medicinal were packaged in collapsible metal tubes. These containers did not take into account such factors as ease of application, cleanliness, contamination from an infected area or with foreign materials, maintenance of sterility, oxidation waste due to the method of application on, and stability.
And also the professor said that if they use the aerosol containers (metallic, glass, or plastic) tomorrow during their practice it will give the following advantages: 1.the method of application is convenient, fast and efficient; 2.since the medicinal is applied directly from the container to the effected area of the skin there is no waste through the use of an applicator; 3.there is no danger of contamination of the product.
III. Answer the questions:
1. What are ointments?
2. What are the ointment bases?
3. What types of ointments do you know?
4. What are the classes of ointments?
5. What are the containers for ointments?
6. How do we use ointments?
