Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our specially formulated Camphor 0.5%/Zinc Oxide 3% Topical Ointment. This semi-solid formulation, dispensed in a tube, is designed for external application to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of medication or therapeutic agents for localized treatment. It is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.

The combination of camphor and zinc oxide works synergistically to reduce inflammation, itching, and irritation associated with these conditions.

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.
