How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Benzyl Alcohol 20% Topical Gel is a specially formulated topical medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis. The primary active ingredient, benzyl alcohol, functions as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent. It aids in reducing inflammation and redness associated with these skin conditions, while also inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi on the skin, thereby reducing the risk of infection.

Upon application to the affected area, the gel forms a protective barrier that aids in maintaining skin hydration and minimizing irritation. It also assists in reducing the visibility of redness and inflammation. The gel should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

While Benzyl Alcohol 20% Topical Gel is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or a burning sensation upon application. If you experience any of these side effects, discontinue use of the medication and consult with your 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.
