Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded formulation of Benzoyl Peroxide 5%/Tea Tree Oil 2.5% in a semisolid preparation. This unique topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

These include acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic agent that functions by breaking down the outer layer of the skin.

On the other hand, Tea Tree Oil serves as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent, aiding in the reduction of redness and swelling associated with various skin conditions.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be applied on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, caution should be exercised when using this product on sensitive skin.

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.
