Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Anthralin 0.1%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the anti-inflammatory properties of anthralin and the keratolytic effects of salicylic acid, creating a potent solution for conditions such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, among others.

Anthralin, an anti-inflammatory agent, works to alleviate inflammation and redness associated with various skin conditions. On the other hand, salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in reducing the thickness of the skin's outer layer, thereby enhancing the absorption of anthralin.

Our Anthralin 0.1%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This semisolid preparation allows for localized treatment, ensuring that the active ingredients are absorbed where they are most needed. It is easy to apply and can be incorporated into your daily skincare routine.

However, it is crucial to remember that this medication should not be applied on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, patients with sensitive skin should exercise caution when using this product. Always follow the recommended dosage and application instructions to ensure the best results.

If you have any queries about this formulation or need advice on how it can be used to treat your specific skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to assist you.

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.
