Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of Acetyl Salicylic Acid 20%, Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.064%, and Salicylic Acid 3% in a topical ointment. It is a semi-solid preparation that is dispensed in a tube and is designed for external application to the skin. The greasy or oily base of the ointment aids in the delivery of the medication, providing localized treatment.

Acetyl Salicylic Acid, also known as Aspirin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. In this formulation, it is used topically to help reduce inflammation and pain in the skin.

Betamethasone Dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid that is used to reduce itching, redness, and swelling associated with various skin conditions. It works by suppressing the immune response, thereby reducing inflammation and attendant discomfort.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic (peeling agent) that causes shedding of the outer layer of skin. It is used to treat conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff, acne, ringworm, and ichthyosis. It works by softening and loosening dry, scaly, or thickened skin so that it falls off or can be easily removed.

This formulation is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing. It provides a localized treatment, delivering the medication directly to the area of the skin that requires treatment. This allows for a higher concentration of the medication to be delivered to the specific area, while minimizing systemic absorption and potential side effects.

For patients, it is important to apply this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, usually to the affected area of skin twice daily or as directed. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or other sensitive areas. Wash your hands after applying unless you are treating an area on the hands. Do not cover, bandage, or wrap the area unless directed to do so by your healthcare provider. If your condition does not improve or worsens after using this medication, contact your healthcare provider.

For prescribers, it is important to consider the potential side effects of this medication, which may include burning, itching, or dryness at the application site. More serious side effects, such as stretch marks, skin thinning/discoloration, or hair follicle inflammation, may occur with prolonged use or use on large areas of skin. It is also important to consider potential drug interactions, particularly with other topical medications.

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

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains Acetyl Salicylic Acid, Betamethasone Dipropionate, and Salicylic Acid. These active ingredients work together to treat a variety of skin conditions. Acetyl Salicylic Acid, also known as Aspirin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain. Betamethasone Dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid that reduces itching, redness, and swelling associated with various skin conditions. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic (peeling agent) that causes shedding of the outer layer of skin, helping to treat conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff, acne, and warts.

It's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this formulation. Here are some key interactions to consider:

Acetyl Salicylic Acid: This ingredient may interact with blood thinners (like warfarin), other NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), and certain other drugs (like methotrexate or SSRI/SNRI antidepressants). It can also interact with certain supplements, like fish oil or vitamin E, which have blood-thinning effects. Using these substances together can increase the risk of bleeding.

Betamethasone Dipropionate: This corticosteroid may interact with drugs that weaken the immune system (like cyclosporine or tacrolimus), certain antibiotics (like erythromycin or itraconazole), and certain antifungal medications (like ketoconazole). These interactions can increase the risk of side effects from betamethasone.

Salicylic Acid: This ingredient can interact with other topical medications, especially those that are abrasive, drying, or peeling, such as other acne treatments or skin products containing alcohol. Using these products together can increase skin irritation.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and skin products you are currently using to avoid potential interactions. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using this formulation as it may affect the baby.

Remember, this formulation is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, such as severe redness, swelling, or irritation, stop using the product and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its potential interactions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Acetyl Salicylic Acid, Betamethasone Dipropionate, and Salicylic Acid in a topical ointment designed for direct application to the skin. Each of these active ingredients plays a unique role in treating various skin conditions.

Acetyl Salicylic Acid, also known as Aspirin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the production of certain natural substances in your body that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever. In this formulation, it is used at a concentration of 20% to provide potent anti-inflammatory effects on the skin.

Betamethasone Dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune response. It is used at a concentration of 0.064% in this formulation. It works by reducing the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of conditions.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic (peeling agent). Salicylic acid causes shedding of the outer layer of skin. It is used at a concentration of 3% in this formulation. Salicylic Acid can help to reduce scaling, dryness, and itching associated with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. It can also help to soften and remove rough, scaly skin.

The ointment base provides a greasy or oily medium that aids in the delivery of these therapeutic agents to the skin. It helps to keep the skin moisturized, which can enhance the healing process and improve the overall effectiveness of the medication.

This formulation is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing. It provides localized treatment, meaning it works directly on the area of skin where it is applied, rather than affecting the entire body. This can help to reduce potential side effects and improve patient compliance.

If you have any questions about this formulation, how it works, or 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.
