What does an ointment refer to?

  1. Liquid drug form containing particles settling to the bottom

  2. Semi-solid cream applied on the skin

  3. Flavored tablet to be absorbed under the tongue

  4. Gelatin container for medication that dissolves in the stomach

The correct answer is: Semi-solid cream applied on the skin

An ointment refers to a semi-solid cream that is applied on the skin. Ointments are typically used to deliver medication through the skin and are different from liquid drug forms where particles settle at the bottom, flavored tablets for sublingual absorption, and gelatin containers that dissolve in the stomach.
