The components of Cotaryl Cream are as follows:

• Ammonium chloride (0.5% w/w): Ammonium chloride is an inorganic compound that can work as an acidifier. It helps to maintain the proper pH level of the formulation, ensuring it is in the desired acidic range.
• Calcium lactate (0.5% w/w): Calcium lactate is a calcium salt of lactic acid. It works as a calcium source, providing the formulation with this essential mineral. Calcium is important for various physiological functions in the body.
• Glycine (3% w/w): Glycine is an amino acid that plays a role in protein synthesis. In this formulation, it works as a stabilising agent or contributes to the overall composition.
• Lactic acid (6% w/w): It is an organic acid. It can serve multiple functions, including adjusting the pH of the formulation, acting as a preservative, or contributing to the product's texture.
• Magnesium chloride (0.3% w/w): This formulation provides magnesium, an essential mineral that plays a role in numerous enzymatic reactions in the body.
• Potassium chloride (0.5% w/w): It is a source of potassium, an electrolyte important for maintaining proper muscle and nerve function.
