Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Benzoic Acid 12%/Salicylic Acid 6% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation, dispensed in a tube, designed for external application to the skin. This potent combination of two active ingredients, Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid, has been specifically formulated to address a range of skin conditions. Benzoic Acid acts as an antifungal agent, helping to alleviate inflammation and itching, while Salicylic Acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in reducing the buildup of dead skin cells.

Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to alleviate the symptoms of various skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. The ointment's greasy or oily base aids in the delivery of these therapeutic agents, providing localized treatment for the affected areas.

This formulation is designed for easy application and can be used on the face, scalp, and other areas of the body. However, it is important to note that this ointment should not be used on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, caution is advised for patients with sensitive skin, as the active ingredients may cause irritation.

If you have any questions or concerns about Bayview Pharmacy's Benzoic Acid 12%/Salicylic Acid 6% Topical Ointment, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Benzoic Acid 12%/Salicylic Acid 6% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid preparation designed for external application to the skin. It is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the active ingredients for localized treatment. This ointment is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.

The ointment is a combination of 12% benzoic acid and 6% salicylic acid, which work together to treat a variety of skin conditions. These include acne, psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. The ointment functions by reducing inflammation and exfoliating the skin, which can help to reduce the appearance of blemishes and other skin lesions. It also helps to reduce the production of sebum, a substance that can lead to clogged pores and acne.

To use this ointment, apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently massage the ointment into the skin until it is fully absorbed. It is important to avoid applying the ointment to broken or irritated skin, and to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

This ointment is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using this product. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

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.
