Alpha-tocopherol acetate has been used as medicinal substance (vitamin E) for peroral, parenteral and topical preparationes. The aim
of the article is not to present the sometimes questionable therapeutic use of tocopherols but to provide basic information on the properties
and use of this substance and to present suitable examples of formulas because tocopherol is still used in some prescriptions of
extemporaneous preparations. The formulation can be easier now because alpha-tocopherol acetate has been available as a substance
for extemporaneous preparation in pharmacies since October 2010.
