Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream formulation of Benzoyl Peroxide 5%, Niacinamide 5%, and Clindamycin 1%. This unique blend of active ingredients is specifically designed to address various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Benzoyl Peroxide 5%/Niacinamide 5%/Clindamycin 1% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed to combat mild to moderate acne. This unique blend of active ingredients works synergistically to reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin, decrease inflammation, and lower the risk of infection.

The formulation contains Benzoyl Peroxide, a potent antimicrobial agent that targets and reduces acne-causing bacteria. Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is included for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe the skin and reduce redness associated with acne. Clindamycin, an antibiotic, further aids in reducing bacterial count on the skin, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

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 targeted application on acne-prone areas.

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.
