Analysis of the absorption spectra in the visible and ultraviolet regions of some medical ointments available in Iraqi markets

Abstract EN

Three types of medical commercial creams Silvazine, Cinolon Tar and Hydroquinon Domina were incorporated in this study.

The medical creams were taken directly and placed uniformly on the glass slide.

Each type of pharmaceutical was weighed at 1 mg and dispersed on an area of 1x1 cm.

This process ensures same thickness for all samples.

The creams were analyzed by using double-beam UV/visible spectrophotometer Metertech SP8001.

The absorption spectrum for each of samples was measured against wavelength range of 300–700 nm.
