Formula Information

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a compounded topical cream that combines Azelaic Acid 5% and Clindamycin 2%. This unique formulation is designed to address various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. Azelaic Acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid, boasts anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-keratinizing properties. It works by reducing the number of acne lesions and alleviating redness and inflammation. Clindamycin, on the other hand, is an antibiotic that decreases the number of bacteria on the skin, thereby reducing the severity of acne.

This compounded formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is designed for localized treatment, allowing for the absorption of active ingredients directly where they are needed. This makes it an effective treatment for acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis, as it can reduce the number of lesions, decrease redness and inflammation, and lower the number of bacteria on the skin.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be applied on broken or irritated skin and should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. Misuse or overuse can lead to unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment regimen.
