This formulation combines three active ingredients: Betamethasone, Tretinoin, and Urea, each with a unique therapeutic effect. Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching. It is commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. Tretinoin, a form of vitamin A, helps the skin renew itself more quickly and is often used to treat acne and reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and mottled skin discoloration. Urea is a keratolytic, which means it softens and removes the outermost layer of skin, making it useful for conditions like dry/rough skin, calluses, corns, and nail problems.
The formulation is a semi-solid ointment, designed to be applied topically to the skin. The greasy or oily base of the ointment aids in the delivery of the medication, ensuring that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the skin for localized treatment. This makes it an ideal choice for treating a range of skin conditions, from inflammation and infections to aiding in wound healing.
For patients, it's important to apply this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, typically to the affected area(s) of skin once or twice daily. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or open wounds. Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment unless you are using it to treat a hand condition. If your condition does not improve or if it worsens, contact your healthcare provider.
For prescribers, please note that this formulation is a compounded medication, meaning it is made specifically for the patient and is not commercially available.

This formulation contains three active ingredients: Betamethasone, Tretinoin, and Urea. Each of these ingredients can interact with other medications, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of adverse reactions.
Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness. It can interact with other topical medications, especially those containing salicylic acid, sulfur, resorcinol, or benzoyl peroxide. Concurrent use of these medications can increase the risk of skin irritation. Systemic absorption of betamethasone can also be increased if used with occlusive dressings, potentially leading to increased side effects.
Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself. It can interact with other topical products that have a strong drying effect, including products with high alcohol content, astringents, spices, lime, permethrin, salicylic acid, sulfur, resorcinol, or benzoyl peroxide. Using these products along with tretinoin may cause excessive dryness or irritation of the skin. Additionally, medications that increase sensitivity to sunlight (like diuretics, antibiotics, and sulfa drugs) can increase the risk of sunburn when used with tretinoin.
Urea is a keratolytic that helps to soften and remove rough, scaly skin. It can interact with other topical medications, especially those that can cause skin irritation. Using urea with other skin products that cause irritation (like alpha hydroxy or glycolic acids) can increase the risk of skin irritation.
This formulation is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. Betamethasone reduces inflammation and redness, making it useful for conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover, helping to clear up acne and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Urea softens and removes rough, scaly skin, making it useful for conditions like ichthyosis and keratosis.
It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you're currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using this formulation as it may pose risks to the fetus or nursing infant.
If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the information you need to use this medication safely and effectively.
This formulation combines three active ingredients: Betamethasone, Tretinoin, and Urea, each with a unique mechanism of action to treat various skin conditions.
Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching. It does this by suppressing the immune response, which reduces the release of chemicals that cause inflammation in the skin.
Tretinoin, a derivative of Vitamin A, works by promoting the turnover of skin cells. This helps to unclog pores, reduce the formation of acne lesions, and increase the speed at which the skin renews itself. Tretinoin is commonly used to treat acne and reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and mottled skin discoloration.
Urea is a keratolytic, which means it works by softening the keratin, a structural protein in the skin. This action helps to loosen and shed hard, scaly, or crusty skin. Urea also has humectant properties, meaning it helps to retain moisture in the skin. This makes it useful in treating dry, rough, and itchy skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, corns, and callus.
The ointment base in this formulation provides an occlusive layer on the skin, which helps to increase the absorption of the active ingredients. It also helps to retain moisture in the skin, further aiding in the treatment of dry and itchy skin conditions.
Overall, this formulation provides a comprehensive approach to treating a variety of skin conditions. It combines the anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties of Betamethasone, the skin renewal properties of Tretinoin, and the keratolytic and moisturizing properties of Urea. This makes it a versatile treatment option for a range of skin conditions, from inflammatory conditions like eczema and psoriasis to acne and dry, rough skin.
