If any of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider immediately.

It is crucial to use this product as directed and not exceed the recommended dosage. If any irritation or sensitivity occurs, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Azelaic Acid 1%/Progesterone 1% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address various skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent properties of azelaic acid and progesterone, two active ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits.

Azelaic acid is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that effectively reduces sebum production, an oily substance that can clog pores and lead to acne. On the other hand, progesterone is a hormone that aids in reducing inflammation and redness. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to alleviate acne symptoms, reduce inflammation, and minimize redness, thereby reducing the risk of scarring and other skin damage caused by acne.

When applied topically, Azelaic Acid 1%/Progesterone 1% Topical Cream can significantly improve the appearance of acne-prone skin. For optimal results, the cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily for a minimum of two weeks.

By reducing inflammation and redness, this cream can help diminish the visibility of these conditions. Similar to acne treatment, the cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily for at least two weeks to see the full effects.

If you have any questions about Azelaic Acid 1%/Progesterone 1% Topical Cream or its mechanism of action, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment for your skin condition.

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.
