Glycerophosphoinositol emollient ointment

Glycerophosphoinositol (GPI) emollient ointment is a topical preparation used primarily for the management of atopic dermatitis and other dry, irritated skin conditions. It contains glycerophosphoinositol salt of choline as its main active ingredient. The mechanism of action involves moisturizing and softening the skin, reducing itching and flaking by forming an oily layer that traps water in the skin. In clinical studies, GPI emollient has demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing symptoms of atopic dermatitis compared to other commercially available emollients, with good safety and tolerance profiles[2][3]. Emollients like this are commonly used to restore the skin barrier function in dermatological conditions.
