Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream containing Benzoyl Peroxide 5% and Clindamycin 1%. This unique formulation is designed to address a range of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. The combination of Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin in this cream works synergistically to reduce inflammation, decrease the number of bacteria on the skin, and limit the production of sebum, a type of oil produced by the skin.

Benzoyl Peroxide is a potent antibacterial agent that effectively reduces the number of bacteria on the skin. Clindamycin, on the other hand, is a powerful antibiotic that aids in reducing inflammation. Together, these two active ingredients work in harmony to alleviate the symptoms and severity of acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis.

This compounded formulation is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This allows for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring that the medication is applied precisely where it's needed. This formulation is suitable for all skin types and can be used up to twice daily for optimal results.

It's important to note that this formulation may cause skin irritation in some individuals. Therefore, it's recommended to start with a small amount and gradually increase the quantity as tolerated. Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider when using this product.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its usage, please don't hesitate to contact 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.
