Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Castor Oil 20%/Zinc Oxide 9.1% Topical Ointment is a specially compounded formulation designed to address a wide range of skin conditions. This semi-solid formulation, dispensed in a tube, is intended for external application to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the active ingredients, castor oil and zinc oxide, for localized treatment.

Castor oil, a natural emollient, works to soften and soothe the skin, providing relief from dryness and irritation. Zinc oxide, on the other hand, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that helps to reduce redness and irritation, providing relief from inflammatory skin conditions.

Furthermore, this ointment can also be used to treat minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. The soothing properties of castor oil and the protective barrier formed by zinc oxide work together to reduce inflammation, itching, and discomfort associated with these conditions. This formulation also helps to protect the skin from further irritation and damage, promoting faster healing and recovery.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help treat your specific skin condition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide you with the information and support you need to make informed decisions about your skin health.

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.
