Cetyl alcohol is the 16-carbon alcohol corresponding to palmitic acid, so called because it is isolated from among the hydrolysis products of spermaceti. This medication is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Most emollients can be used safely and effectively with no side effects. However, burning, stinging, redness, or irritation may occur. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare.

Curator's Comment: Suspension: 13.5 mg of colfosceril palmitate, 1.5 mg of cetyl alcohol, and 1 mg of tyloxapol per mL, when reconstituted with 8 mL of Sterile Water for Injection supplied by manufacturer
5 mL of reconstituted suspension per kg of body weight administered (in two half-doses) as soon as possible after diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is confirmed; a second dose (given in two half-doses) should be administered approximately twelve hours after the first dose, provided that the infant remains on mechanical ventilation.
