Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Sulfur 5% Topical Lotion is a specially compounded formulation designed to address a variety of skin conditions. This unique blend combines the potent antibacterial properties of benzoyl peroxide with the antifungal benefits of sulfur, creating a powerful treatment that targets inflammation, bacteria, and excessive oil production on the skin.

Benzoyl peroxide, a key ingredient in this formulation, is renowned for its ability to significantly reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. It also plays a crucial role in minimizing inflammation and controlling oil production, contributing to a clearer, healthier complexion. Sulfur, on the other hand, is a potent antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of fungi on the skin, while also reducing inflammation and oil production.

The lotion form of this formulation ensures a smooth, spreadable consistency that is easy to apply on various areas of the body, such as the face, chest, and back. It is designed to promote absorption of the active ingredients for localized treatment, while also offering moisturizing and soothing effects for the skin.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat your specific skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is always ready to provide the necessary guidance and support.

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.
