Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Clindamycin 2% Topical Cream is a specially formulated treatment for acne vulgaris. This unique combination of two active ingredients, benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, synergistically works to reduce the number of acne lesions and enhance the overall appearance of the skin.

It is crucial to understand that this product is not suitable for application on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, it should not be used concurrently with other topical acne medications to avoid potential adverse reactions. Patients are strongly advised to apply sunscreen while using this product, as benzoyl peroxide may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, leading to photosensitivity.

Patients should also exercise caution to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, the affected area should be thoroughly rinsed with water. If any irritation or other adverse reactions occur, it is recommended that patients discontinue use immediately and consult their healthcare provider.

It is always important to use this product as directed and maintain open communication with your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible outcome. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Clindamycin 2% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed to treat mild to moderate acne. This combination medication works by reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and aiding in the unclogging of blocked pores. The benzoyl peroxide component helps to alleviate inflammation and redness, while the clindamycin component works to decrease the bacterial count on the skin.

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application. It is designed for localized treatment, meaning it should be applied directly to the affected area of the skin. The usual dosage is once or twice daily, but it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication.

It's important to be aware that this medication may cause skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If you experience these or any other side effects, it is recommended to contact your healthcare provider for advice. Additionally, it is advised to avoid using other topical medications or products on the same area of skin as this medication, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Clindamycin 2% Topical Cream, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider. They are there to ensure you get the most benefit from your medication while minimizing potential side effects.

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.
