Use of titanium dioxide in extemporaneous prescription

Jan Hašek
Lékárna U Matky Boží, Doksy

In extemporaneous prescription, titanium dioxide is mainly used as the base of liquid powders and a part of suspension preparations,

such as pastes, creams, and ointments. It has a high covering capacity and a drying effect and alleviates irritation and weeping.

It is a chemically indifferent substance – titanium dioxide can be used as an alternative to zinc oxide in formulations where compounds

of zinc are incompatible with the other ingredients of the preparation. The article briefly deals with the properties and the use of titanium

dioxide in pharmaceutical technology and provides examples of formulations for preparation of pharmaceuticals in pharmacies.

Keywords: extemporaneous, preparation of pharmaceuticals, titanium dioxide, incompatibility, liquid powders
