Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Erythromycin 3% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent effects of benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin, two active ingredients known for their efficacy in treating acne, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Benzoyl peroxide serves as an antibacterial agent, effectively reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. Erythromycin, on the other hand, is an antibiotic that aids in reducing inflammation and redness. The synergistic action of these two ingredients helps to alleviate the severity of acne and other skin conditions, providing relief and promoting healthier skin.

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is intended for localized treatment, allowing for direct application on the affected area. This ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed where they are most needed, maximizing their therapeutic effects.

It is crucial to note that this medication should not be used on broken or irritated skin. Patients with sensitive skin should exercise caution when using this product. Potential side effects may include skin irritation, dryness, or redness. It is recommended to conduct a patch test or consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

If you have any questions about this formulation or need guidance on its usage, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you in your journey towards healthier skin.

It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application directly onto the skin. However, it is crucial to be aware that this formulation is not suitable for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to either benzoyl peroxide or erythromycin.

Upon application, this formulation may cause local irritation, which can include symptoms such as redness, burning, itching, and peeling. It is essential for patients to use the medication as directed and to avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, the affected area should be thoroughly rinsed with water. Patients are also advised to limit their exposure to sunlight and to apply sunscreen when outdoors.

It is important to note that this formulation may interact with other medications. This includes topical products containing sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid. Patients are advised to refrain from using these products while on this treatment. Furthermore, the use of other topical products, such as cosmetics, should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

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.
