Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a topical liquid preparation containing Acetic Acid 10%, Lactic Acid 10%, and Salicylic Acid 10%. It is specifically designed for direct application to the skin or mucosal surfaces, providing targeted therapeutic benefits. This formulation is often chosen for localized treatment or when avoiding systemic effects is desired.

It is also used to treat skin conditions such as acne and warts. Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that is used in the treatment of various skin conditions. It works by breaking down the 'cement' between skin cells, allowing for the shedding of dead cells and promoting the growth of new ones. This results in improved skin texture and reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid that is commonly used in the treatment of a variety of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and warts. It works by softening and dissolving the stratum corneum (top layer of the skin), promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and unclogging pores. This helps to reduce inflammation and redness, and promotes the healing of the skin.

Together, these three active ingredients work synergistically to treat a variety of skin conditions. The formulation is designed to be applied directly to the affected area, providing targeted treatment and minimizing systemic side effects. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to minimize potential side effects.

As with any medication, it is important to discuss any potential allergies or interactions with other medications with your healthcare provider before starting treatment. Side effects may include skin irritation, dryness, or peeling. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to assist you.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation, Acetic Acid 10%/Lactic Acid 10%/Salicylic Acid 10% Topical Liquid, is a potent combination of three active ingredients, each with its own unique therapeutic properties. Acetic acid has antimicrobial properties, lactic acid acts as a keratolytic agent, and salicylic acid is a well-known anti-inflammatory and desquamating agent. This combination is often used to treat conditions such as acne, warts, corns, and other skin disorders.

However, like all medications, this formulation can interact with other drugs, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of adverse reactions. It is crucial for patients and prescribers to be aware of these potential interactions.

Salicylic acid, one of the active ingredients in this formulation, can interact with other topical medications, particularly those containing retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. Concurrent use may increase the risk of skin irritation. If you are using any other topical treatments, it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Additionally, salicylic acid can enhance the absorption of other topically applied drugs, potentially increasing their systemic effects. This is particularly relevant for drugs applied to large areas of skin or used over extended periods. If you are using any other topical medications, especially those with systemic effects, it is important to inform your healthcare provider.

Acetic acid and lactic acid, the other active ingredients in this formulation, are generally considered to have minimal systemic absorption and therefore a low potential for drug interactions. However, they can cause skin irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or when used in combination with other irritating substances. If you experience any unusual skin reactions while using this formulation, it is important to inform your healthcare provider.

It is also important to note that this formulation should not be used in combination with other keratolytic agents, as this can lead to excessive skin peeling and irritation. If you are using any other medications that have a keratolytic effect, such as retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids, it is important to inform your healthcare provider.

Lastly, while this formulation is designed for topical use and is generally considered to have minimal systemic effects, it is still important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. This will help ensure that any potential interactions are identified and managed appropriately.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions with other drugs, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Acetic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid, each at a concentration of 10%. These three active ingredients work together to provide a potent topical treatment for a variety of skin conditions.

Acetic Acid is a mild acid that has both antiseptic and keratolytic properties. It works by killing bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause skin infections. Additionally, it helps to soften and break down hard, scaly, or rough skin, making it easier for the other active ingredients to penetrate and work effectively.

Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that is used in skincare for its exfoliating and moisturizing properties. It works by breaking down the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together, allowing them to be easily removed. This helps to smooth the skin's surface, improve skin tone and texture, and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Lactic Acid also has the ability to draw moisture into the skin, helping to keep it hydrated and supple.

Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid that is well-known for its ability to treat acne and other skin conditions. It works by penetrating into the pores and dissolving the debris that can cause blockages and lead to breakouts. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and swelling, and it can help to regulate the skin's oil production.

When combined in this formulation, these three acids work synergistically to treat a variety of skin conditions. The Acetic Acid kills bacteria and softens the skin, the Lactic Acid exfoliates and moisturizes, and the Salicylic Acid clears the pores and reduces inflammation.

As a topical liquid, this formulation is designed to be applied directly to the affected area, providing targeted treatment and minimizing systemic effects. It is important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, and to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information about how it can be used to treat specific skin conditions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
