Growmed Ad Vitamin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Isopropyl myristate is a moisturizer with polar characteristics used in cosmetics and topical medical preparations to ameliorate the skin absorption. Isopropyl myristate has been largely studied and impulsed as a skin penetration enhancer.

At the moment the primary usage for which isopropyl myristate is formally indicated is as the active ingredient in a non-prescription pediculicide rinse .

Isopropyl myristate is an emollient vehicle that is effective at enhancing the penetration of other medical agents that may be incorporated into the vehicle as active agents . In one study, a 50:50 isopropanol-isopropyl myristate binary enhancer synergistically increased the transport of estradiol across a two-layer human epidermis in vitro .

Oil extracted from olives . Consists primarily of the glycerides of the fatty acids linoleic, oleic and palmitic. Used as a source of fatty acids in total parenteral nutrition and as an additive in some cosmetic products .

Provides a source of calories and fatty acids .

Uses

Isopropyl myristate is a polar skin moisturizer that is used to enhance skin penetration of drugs.

The primary medical indication for which isopropyl myristate is formally used as an active ingredient in a patient care product is as a non-prescription pediculicide rinse .

For use in adults as a source of calories and fatty acids in total parenteral nutrition . Sometimes used as an additive in cosmetic products.

Growmed Ad Vitamin is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Head Lice InfestationNutritional supplementation, Total parenteral nutrition therapy

How Growmed Ad Vitamin works

As a pediculicide, isopropyl myristate is capable of physically coating the exoskeleton bodies of lice . This physical coating subsequently immobilizes the lice and works to dissolve the wax covering on the insect exoskeleton and blocks the insects' airways, leading to death by dehydration . Although this physical action of isopropyl myristate results in little lice resistance (given the lack of immunologic or chemical activity in this mechanism of action), the substance is also not ovicidal, which means any eggs that may have been laid by lice would not be affected . Moreover, isopropyl myristate is capable of eliciting its pediculicide action in a contact time of only 10 minutes per each necessary administration .

Fatty acids act as a substrate in energy production through beta-oxidation as well as important components of cell membrane structures and prescursors for bioactive molecules like prostaglandins .

Toxicity

Readily available information regarding the pharmacokinetics of isopropyl myristate is not available .

Fat overload sydrome is the primary form of toxicity characterized by a sudden deterioration in the patient's condition accompanied by fever, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorders, hyperlipidemia, liver fatty infiltration, deteriorating liver function, and central nervous system manifestations such as coma . The precise cause of this is unclear. While it is most likely to occur during overdosage of lipids some occurences have been reported when lipids are administered appropriately. Intraperitoneal LD50 in mice of >50g/kg and intravenous LD50 in rats of 1320mg/kg .

Elimination Route

Dermal absorption of isopropyl myristate is predicated to be 0.00020 mg/cm2/event, which is considered a very low absorption rate . In a study, topically applied isopropyl myristate was largely retained in the stratum corneum . It was not detected in the receptor fluid of flow-through diffusion cells in in-vitro skin permeation experiments using human epidermis (stratum corneum and viable epidermis) and dermis of varying thickness .
