Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

It is characterized by a smooth and spreadable consistency, which not only provides moisturizing and soothing effects but also promotes the absorption of the active ingredients for localized treatment. This formulation is specifically designed to address certain skin conditions.

Camphor, one of the active ingredients in this formulation, is known for its soothing and cooling properties. It can help alleviate pain and inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like minor burns, insect bites, and skin irritation. It also has antimicrobial properties that can help prevent infection in minor skin wounds.

Sulfur, the other active ingredient, has been used for centuries in skincare for its exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Sulfur also has antifungal and antibacterial properties, which can help in the treatment of skin infections.

Together, Camphor and Sulfur in this topical lotion work synergistically to provide relief from various skin conditions. The lotion's moisturizing base also helps to keep the skin hydrated, promoting healing and improving the overall skin condition. However, it's important to note that this formulation should only be used as directed by a healthcare provider, and it's not suitable for use on broken skin or open wounds.

For patients, it's crucial to apply this lotion as directed by your healthcare provider, typically to the affected area once or twice daily. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If any adverse reactions occur, such as increased redness, itching, or burning, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

For prescribers, this formulation offers a versatile treatment option for various skin conditions. It's important to instruct patients on proper application techniques and to monitor their progress regularly.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Camphor 1%/Sulfur 7% Topical Lotion is a specialized formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. Camphor, a terpenoid, provides a cooling sensation and helps to relieve pain and inflammation. Sulfur, on the other hand, has antimicrobial properties and is often used to treat acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and other skin disorders.

While this formulation is generally safe for use, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions. If you're using other topical medications on the same area of skin, it's crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider. Combining this lotion with other topical treatments could potentially alter the absorption and effectiveness of either product.

Specifically, avoid using this lotion with any topical products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients can react with sulfur, potentially causing skin irritation or reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. Similarly, camphor can interact with other topical pain relievers, potentially leading to increased skin irritation or sensitivity.

It's also important to note that while this lotion is designed for external use only, camphor can be toxic if ingested and can interact with certain oral medications. If you're taking medication for seizures, for example, camphor can potentially increase the risk of a seizure. If you're taking any oral medications, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider before using this lotion.

As with any medication, it's important to use this lotion as directed by your healthcare provider. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, stop using the lotion and contact your healthcare provider immediately. This includes signs of a potential allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

Remember, our team of compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy is here to help. If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions with other medications, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're committed to ensuring that you have all the information you need to use your medications safely and effectively.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Camphor 1%/Sulfur 7% Topical Lotion is a specially formulated treatment designed to address specific skin conditions. It combines the therapeutic properties of camphor and sulfur, two active ingredients known for their beneficial effects on the skin.

Camphor, which makes up 1% of the formulation, is a substance extracted from the wood of the camphor tree. It is widely recognized for its soothing and cooling properties. When applied topically, camphor can help alleviate symptoms of skin irritation and itching. It works by stimulating nerve endings that can relieve pain and itching, providing a cooling effect that can soothe inflamed or irritated skin.

Sulfur, on the other hand, comprises 7% of the formulation. It is a natural element that has been used for centuries in skincare for its ability to treat a variety of skin conditions. Sulfur works by drying out the skin and causing it to peel. This helps to exfoliate the top layer of skin, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. It also has antibacterial properties, which can help reduce the bacteria that can lead to skin conditions such as acne.

Together, camphor and sulfur in this topical lotion work synergistically to provide relief from skin irritation, reduce inflammation, and promote the healing of the skin. The lotion form of this medication allows for easy application and absorption, ensuring that the active ingredients are delivered directly to the affected area for maximum effect.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide relief from symptoms, it is not a cure for underlying skin conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive treatment plan. As compounding pharmacists, we can customize this formulation to meet individual patient needs, considering factors such as skin type, severity of symptoms, and personal preferences.

If you have any questions about the Camphor 1%/Sulfur 7% Topical Lotion, or if you would like to discuss how this formulation could be tailored to your specific needs, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help.

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.
