Ointments can be classified into various categories based on their composition and purpose. Some common classifications include oil-based ointments, water-based ointments, and emulsion-based ointments. Sub-classifications can further categorize ointments based on specific ingredients, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics, antifungals, or antipruritics. Each sub-classification serves a different therapeutic purpose.
