How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 20%/Salicylic Acid 3% Topical Gel is a specialized compounded formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis. This unique combination of active ingredients works synergistically to manage these conditions effectively. The Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate component functions by reducing the oil production of the skin, thereby minimizing the likelihood of acne formation. On the other hand, the Salicylic Acid component serves to decrease inflammation and promote the exfoliation of the skin, which can be particularly beneficial in managing conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

When applied to the affected skin areas, this topical gel formulation works to alleviate the visible signs of these skin conditions, such as redness, inflammation, and flaky skin. It can also help to soothe the irritation often associated with these conditions. For optimal results, the gel should be applied to the affected area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to remember that this medication should not be used on broken or irritated skin, nor should it be applied to the face or around the eyes. If you experience any adverse reactions such as increased redness or irritation after using this medication, it is recommended to discontinue use immediately and consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
