Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Acetylcysteine 10% and Urea 5% in a topical lotion designed for external application to the skin. Acetylcysteine, a powerful antioxidant, works by breaking down mucus in the airways, and when applied topically, it can help to soften and break down thick, crusty skin, making it easier to remove. Urea, on the other hand, is a potent keratolytic agent that helps to hydrate and exfoliate the skin, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and revealing healthier, smoother skin underneath.

Together, these two active ingredients provide a potent combination for treating a variety of skin conditions. The Acetylcysteine helps to soften and break down thick, crusty skin, while the Urea helps to hydrate and exfoliate the skin. This can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, keratosis, and other conditions characterized by dry, rough, or scaly skin. The lotion formulation provides a smooth and spreadable consistency, making it easy to apply to affected areas of the skin.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief for these skin conditions, it is not a cure. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the guidance of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use this product as directed, and to notify your healthcare provider if you experience any side effects or if your symptoms do not improve.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are committed to providing high-quality, personalized care for our patients. 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. Our knowledgeable team of compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Acetylcysteine and Urea are both active ingredients in this topical lotion formulation. Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic agent that breaks down mucus in the airways, and it also acts as an antioxidant. Urea is a compound that is naturally found in the human body and is used in skincare due to its hydrating properties. It is important to understand the potential interactions of these ingredients with other medications.

Acetylcysteine may interact with certain medications such as nitroglycerin, leading to a potential decrease in the effectiveness of nitroglycerin. If you are taking nitroglycerin, it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider before using this topical lotion. Acetylcysteine may also interact with activated charcoal, which is often used in cases of drug overdose. The charcoal may reduce the effectiveness of acetylcysteine, so it is important to avoid using these two substances together.

Urea, on the other hand, is generally considered safe and has no known significant drug interactions. However, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements, as they may have potential interactions with any new medication.

This formulation of Acetylcysteine 10%/Urea 5% Topical Lotion is designed to treat specific skin conditions. Acetylcysteine's antioxidant properties can help to protect the skin from damage, while its mucolytic properties can help to break down and remove dead skin cells. Urea is a powerful moisturizer that can help to hydrate the skin and promote the absorption of other active ingredients.

As with any medication, it is important to use this product as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If you experience any adverse reactions such as redness, itching, or rash, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions with other medications, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Acetylcysteine 10%/Urea 5% Topical Lotion is a specially formulated medication designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines the therapeutic properties of Acetylcysteine and Urea, both of which are active ingredients known for their beneficial effects on the skin.

Acetylcysteine, also known as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), is a medication that is primarily used to treat paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose and to loosen thick mucus in individuals with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this formulation, Acetylcysteine works by breaking down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure. This action helps to soften the thick, scaly skin patches that are often associated with certain skin conditions.

On the other hand, Urea is a compound that is naturally found in the human body. In skincare, it is synthetically manufactured and used as a moisturizer to treat dry, rough, and itchy skin. Urea works by increasing the water content in the skin, making it softer and more supple. It also helps to speed up the skin's natural shedding process, which can help to improve the appearance of dry, scaly skin.

When combined in a lotion, Acetylcysteine and Urea work synergistically to treat skin conditions by softening and moisturizing the skin, while promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. This can help to improve the appearance of the skin, reduce itching and discomfort, and promote the healing process.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief for various skin conditions, it's not a cure. It's designed to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals dealing with these conditions. As with any medication, it's crucial to use this product as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

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.
