Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream that contains Azelastine Hydrochloride 0.15% and Brimonidine Tartrate 0.5%. This unique formulation is designed to address a range of conditions, including allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Azelastine Hydrochloride is an antihistamine that functions by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. On the other hand, Brimonidine Tartrate is an alpha-2 agonist that operates by reducing the amount of fluid in the eye, thereby minimizing redness and swelling.

This compounded formulation is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients. It is intended to be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by the healthcare provider and to avoid contact with the eyes.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help you identify the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Azelastine HCl 0.15%/Brimonidine Tartrate 0.5% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and blepharitis. This unique combination of active ingredients works synergistically to block the release of histamine, a chemical that triggers inflammation and itching, and to decrease the production of tears, providing relief from these conditions.

The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is intended for localized treatment, meaning it should be applied directly to the affected area. The recommended dosage is twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental contact, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, which may include temporary blurred vision, stinging, burning, or redness at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is recommended to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

It is also important to note that this medication should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either Azelastine HCl or Brimonidine Tartrate. Furthermore, it should not be used in combination with other topical medications or with contact lenses, as this may increase the risk of side effects or cause irritation.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Azelastine HCl 0.15%/Brimonidine Tartrate 0.5% Topical Cream, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further guidance.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Azelastine HCl 0.15%/Brimonidine Tartrate 0.5% Topical Cream is a compounded medication designed to treat conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and seasonal allergic rhinitis. This combination medication works by inhibiting the action of certain natural substances that trigger inflammation and redness in the eyes and nose. The azelastine hydrochloride component of the cream helps to alleviate itching, redness, and tearing of the eyes, while the brimonidine tartrate component aids in reducing redness and swelling of the eyes.

To use this medication, apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area of the eye or nose, typically twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. The cream should be gently rubbed into the skin until it is fully absorbed. It is crucial to adhere to the recommended dose and not to use it more frequently than prescribed by your doctor.

Before using Azelastine HCl 0.15%/Brimonidine Tartrate 0.5% Topical Cream, it is essential to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. It is equally important to disclose any other medications you are currently taking, including vitamins and supplements, to your doctor.

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.
