Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Allantoin 3% Topical Cream is a specially formulated semisolid preparation, designed to be dispensed through a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is intended for localized treatment, facilitating the absorption of active ingredients directly into the affected area.

Allantoin, the active ingredient in this formulation, is renowned for its moisturizing and keratolytic effects. It works by increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells, thereby promoting the proliferation of healthy tissue.

At a concentration of 3%, Allantoin can effectively treat a range of disease states. It is commonly used in the management of dry, rough, and itchy skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and xerosis. It can also be used to soothe minor burns, cuts, and abrasions, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of scarring.

Patients using Allantoin 3% Topical Cream should apply it to the affected area as directed by their healthcare provider. It is generally well-tolerated, but as with any medication, side effects can occur. These may include mild burning, stinging, or redness at the application site. If these persist or worsen, or if you experience any serious side effects such as blistering or swelling, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Prescribers should note that while Allantoin is generally considered safe for use in most patients, it should be used with caution in those with known allergies to the ingredient. Additionally, it may not be suitable for use on broken or severely inflamed skin, and should not be used in patients with known or suspected bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections without concurrent appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

If you have any questions about Allantoin 3% Topical Cream, or if you would like more information about this or any other formulation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Allantoin 3% Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is primarily used for its keratolytic, moisturizing, and skin-protective effects. It promotes the shedding of dead skin cells and stimulates the growth of healthy tissue. This makes it beneficial in the treatment of various skin conditions such as dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and minor wounds or burns.

While Allantoin is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, it's important to be aware of potential interactions with other drugs or substances. Although no specific drug interactions have been identified with topical Allantoin, it's always advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Patients should avoid using other topical products on the same area where Allantoin cream has been applied unless directed by a healthcare provider. This is because the combined use of multiple topical products can potentially lead to increased skin irritation or dryness. If you are using other topical medications, it is recommended to apply them at different times of the day to minimize the potential for interaction.

It's also important to note that while Allantoin can help soothe and heal the skin, it is not intended to treat or prevent infections. If you have a skin infection or a deep, open wound, you should seek medical attention. Using Allantoin in these situations could potentially delay proper treatment and lead to complications.

As with any medication, it's important to use Allantoin as directed by your healthcare provider. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, such as increased redness, swelling, or burning sensation at the application site, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions about Allantoin 3% Topical Cream or its potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our knowledgeable team of compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Allantoin 3% Topical Cream is a specially formulated semisolid preparation that is dispensed using a pump mechanism. This design allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin, ensuring that the active ingredient, Allantoin, is localized to the area of treatment for optimal absorption.

Allantoin is a compound that is found in many organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria. It is known for its keratolytic and moisturizing effects, which means it can help to soften and remove dead skin cells, promote the growth of new skin cells, and improve the skin's moisture retention capabilities.

When applied topically, Allantoin penetrates the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) where it absorbs water, promoting hydration and softening of the skin. This hydration and softening effect helps to improve the skin's texture and appearance, making it feel smoother and less dry. Additionally, Allantoin promotes cell proliferation and wound healing, which can be beneficial in the treatment of various skin conditions.

Allantoin 3% Topical Cream can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions. It is often used in the management of dry, rough, and scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and keratosis pilaris. It can also be used to promote healing in minor cuts, burns, and abrasions. Furthermore, Allantoin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful in the treatment of skin irritations and inflammations.

It's important to note that while Allantoin is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild irritation or sensitivity. If you notice any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use Allantoin 3% Topical Cream as directed by your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about Allantoin 3% Topical Cream, or if you would like more information about how it works, 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.
