What is Pulverization by Intervention?

Name an example.
Reduction & subdivision of substances with an additional material (i.e. solvent) that can be removed easily after pulverization is complete.

Often used for gummy substances that re-agglomerate or resist grinding (e.g. menthol with alcohol)
Do eutectic mixtures need a facilitator?
No. They are easily incorporated into any ointment base type without need of a facilitator.
When do you not use facilitators with powders?
Light-weight, bulky powders or powders that constitute > 50%+ of the ointment may be levigated with an equal portion of base.

Excessive amounts of liquid levigation may render ointment too fluid if facilitators used.
How much levigating agents necessary for powders?
Between half to twice the amount of powder (0.5x up to 2x)
