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. We are committed to providing comprehensive care and guidance for all your pharmaceutical needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Anthralin 0.1%/Salicylic Acid 0.5% Topical Cream is a compounded medication designed to treat various skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata. This formulation combines the anti-inflammatory properties of anthralin and the keratolytic effects of salicylic acid. Anthralin works by reducing inflammation and itching, while salicylic acid aids in reducing scaling and flaking of the skin.

Avoid covering the treated area with a bandage or other covering unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. It is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream.

While this medication is generally well-tolerated, it may cause skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation.

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.
