The development of medical compositions with herbal drug raw materials is an urgent issue of today. The production technology offered considers the use of domestic raw materials and maximal extraction of accessory agents from them, i.e. low-waste method. The purpose of this research is a selection of the best possible carrier base for soft external dosage form with Rhaponticum carthamoides extract. Traditional equipment for soft dosage forms processing was used during this study. Organoleptic properties of ointments, their pharmacological availability were examined, and production cost components were taken into account. Hence the studies conducted an optimal carrier base for production of external drug dosage with Rhaponticum carthamoides extract was chosen.
