Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and wrinkles. The cream contains two active ingredients: Arginine and Glycolic Acid. Arginine, an amino acid, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to promote healing. Glycolic Acid, on the other hand, is an alpha hydroxy acid that aids in skin exfoliation and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The combined effect of these two ingredients can significantly improve the appearance of the aforementioned skin conditions.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be applied on broken or irritated skin. Patients with sensitive skin should exercise caution when using this product. Potential side effects may include skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If any of these side effects occur, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider. Furthermore, this formulation may increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. Therefore, it is advised to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when using this product.

Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures that the active ingredients are localized for optimal treatment or absorption. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Cream, please consult with a healthcare professional.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Cream is a potent compounded formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique blend combines the healing properties of Arginine, an essential amino acid, with the exfoliating benefits of Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid. Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and rejuvenate the skin.

Arginine is known for its ability to reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing process. It plays a crucial role in cell division, wound healing, and the removal of ammonia from the body. When applied topically, Arginine can help to soothe irritated skin and promote faster recovery.

Glycolic Acid, on the other hand, is a powerful exfoliant that helps to shed dead skin cells and reveal a fresher, brighter complexion. Additionally, Glycolic Acid can help to lighten hyperpigmentation, melasma, and rosacea, resulting in a more even skin tone.

When used together in this topical cream, Arginine and Glycolic Acid offer a comprehensive solution for skin rejuvenation. They help to reduce the appearance of acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea, and wrinkles, leaving the skin looking healthier and more youthful.

For optimal results, it is recommended to apply Arginine 8.7%/Glycolic Acid 6% Topical Cream to the affected area twice daily. However, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider, as overuse of this product can lead to skin irritation. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of this product, please 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.
