Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Anthralin 0.1%/Salicylic Acid 0.5% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions, including psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata. This unique formulation combines the therapeutic benefits of two active ingredients, anthralin and salicylic acid, to create a synergistic effect that effectively reduces inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with these skin conditions.

The anthralin component works by slowing down the production of skin cells, thereby reducing the buildup of scales that characterize conditions like psoriasis. On the other hand, salicylic acid serves as an exfoliant, helping to shed dead skin cells and reduce inflammation. Together, these ingredients provide a comprehensive treatment approach for managing and alleviating symptoms of various skin conditions.

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures that the medication is applied directly to the affected area for localized treatment, enhancing its effectiveness. However, it is crucial to avoid using this medication on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, due to its potent ingredients, it should be used with caution in patients with sensitive skin and should not be applied on the face or in the genital area.

For optimal results, it is recommended to use this medication twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is essential to adhere to the directions on the label and use the medication as prescribed. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.
