How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a topical ointment that combines the therapeutic properties of benzoic acid 6%, salicylic acid 2.5%, and sulfur 4.6%. It is specifically designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. The ointment is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin.

The benzoic acid in the formulation works to alleviate inflammation and redness. The salicylic acid component aids in exfoliating the skin, helping to reduce the visibility of blemishes and promoting a smoother skin texture. The sulfur content plays a crucial role in reducing the production of sebum, a natural oil produced by the skin that can contribute to acne when produced in excess.

When applied to the affected area, this ointment works to soothe inflammation, reduce redness, and alleviate irritation. It also aids in reducing the appearance of blemishes and controlling sebum production. However, it is important to avoid applying this ointment on broken or irritated skin as it may exacerbate the irritation.

For optimal results, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of this ointment to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Always ensure to wash your hands before and after application to maintain hygiene. If you experience any discomfort or irritation while using this ointment, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.

If you have any queries or concerns about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to providing you with 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.
