Abstract

The problem related to infectious mycoses that affect the skin such as dermatophytosis, is caused by a group of 40 types of fungi. The diagnosis of these diseases, which affect 15% of the current population, requires attention that allows to reduce this percentage. Through the review of different researches, it has been revealed the antifungal properties of Allium sativum's raw extracts through the mechanism of inhibitory action or death induction for the pathogen that represents a risk in public health. This evidence provides new alternatives to achieve more natural treatments with results similar to those of synthetic pharmacological uses. This work explains the basic operations to elaborate a semisolid pharmaceutical form with antifungal action from a garlic dry extract. In the process, there were analyzed the basic operations that should be carried out in order to obtain the ointment, following a logical order of how it should be elaborated at laboratory and industrial level. In each operation, the necessary equipment required was taken into account, as well as its use specifications.
