PCCA ZoSil is the compounding industry’s first topical gel base developed specifically for use in veterinary compounding. From dogs to donkeys, cats to kangaroos, horses to hamsters, this exclusive silicone hydrogel base is designed to topically deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to animal skin. Specifically, it is ideal as a base in formulations for dermatitis and wound care.

ZoSil is rich in fatty acids such as omega 3, omega 6 and conjugated linoleic acid, making it the ideal compounding base for adding APIs for any dermalogic formulations and wound care.

Examples of common APIs used topically for various skin conditions are antibiotics, antifungals, anti-inflammatories, anaesthetics, antiseptics and mast-cell stabilizers. Furthermore, ZoSil’s proprietary Smart Diffusion Technology™ possesses a unique fatty-acid releasing mechanism to provide moisturisation and help improve the appearance of red, flaky and irritated skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ZoSil harmful if licked by an animal? No. ZoSil is formulated without toxic ingredients.

Can ZoSil be used in formulations for exotic animals? ZoSil is a viable base to use in topical compounds for mammals, birds and reptiles.

Can ZoSil be used in formulations for humans? ZoSil is specifically designed for animal skin. While the ingredients are not harmful, PCCA does not have data on use in humans.

Can it be used in dosage forms other than topical? No. While ZoSil is formulated without ingredients typically considered toxic to animals if ingested, it is only intended for topical application.

Is it anhydrous? No. ZoSil is a silicone hydrogel, so it contains water. Therefore, preparations compounded with ZoSil should be given an appropriate beyond-use date (BUD) according to USP chapter <795>. Always be sure to follow the appropriate USP chapter(s) when compounding.
