How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Azelaic Acid 20%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Cetyl Alcohol Topical Lotion is a compounded formulation designed to address various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. This topical lotion combines the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of Azelaic acid, the anti-inflammatory and itch-relieving effects of Hydrocortisone, and the moisturizing benefits of Cetyl alcohol.

Azelaic acid works by reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and minimizing inflammation. Hydrocortisone, a type of corticosteroid, aids in reducing inflammation and alleviating itching. Cetyl alcohol, an emollient, contributes to the formulation by softening and moisturizing the skin, enhancing the overall therapeutic effect of the lotion.

When applied to the skin, this lotion works synergistically to reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria, decrease inflammation, and relieve itching and discomfort. It is crucial to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. Typically, the lotion should be applied to the affected skin area once or twice daily, or as per your healthcare provider's instructions. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the medication to prevent any potential cross-contamination.

If you have any queries about this formulation or its application, do not hesitate to seek advice from your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this medication.

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.
