Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Clindamycin, an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on the skin, and Clobetasol Propionate, a potent corticosteroid that reduces swelling, itching, and redness. The combination of these two active ingredients in a 1%/0.05% topical lotion provides a potent treatment for a variety of skin conditions.

Clindamycin works by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins needed by bacteria to carry out vital functions. This stops the bacteria from growing, preventing the spread of the infection. Clindamycin is often used to treat severe infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria, and certain types of skin infections.

Clobetasol Propionate, on the other hand, is a highly potent steroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching. It works by activating natural substances in the skin to reduce swelling, redness, and itching.

The lotion formulation is designed for external application to the skin. It provides a smooth and spreadable consistency, offering moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions. The lotion promotes absorption of the active ingredients for localized treatment, ensuring that the medication is delivered directly to the affected area. This maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing potential side effects.

It's important to note that this medication should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. It should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area(s) of skin, usually twice a day or as directed by your doctor. The duration of treatment will depend on the patient's condition and response to therapy. It's also crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products, before starting treatment with this product.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you need further information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin and Clobetasol Propionate are two active ingredients in this topical lotion formulation. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on the skin, while Clobetasol Propionate is a potent corticosteroid that reduces swelling, itching, and redness. This combination is often used to treat various skin conditions such as severe psoriasis, eczema, and certain types of dermatitis.

While this formulation is generally safe for most patients, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Clindamycin, when used topically, is not likely to interact with many other medications because it is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream. However, oral or injectable forms of Clindamycin can interact with certain medications such as erythromycin and neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore, it's important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking these medications.

Clobetasol Propionate, on the other hand, can interact with drugs that suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, or other corticosteroids. Using these medications together can increase the risk of side effects, including skin thinning, stretch marks, and adrenal suppression. If you are using other topical medications, it's important to apply them at different times of the day to avoid interactions.

It's also important to note that both Clindamycin and Clobetasol Propionate can cause skin irritation. If you are using other skin products that can cause irritation such as harsh soaps, shampoos, or skin cleansers, hair coloring or permanent chemicals, hair removers or waxes, or skin products with alcohol, spices, astringents, or lime, it's recommended to discuss with your healthcare provider as it may worsen the irritation.

Furthermore, both Clindamycin and Clobetasol Propionate should not be used with certain medical conditions. Clindamycin should not be used if you have a history of colitis or enteritis. Clobetasol Propionate should not be used if you have any type of skin infection, certain skin conditions (rosacea, perioral dermatitis), or if you have had a recent vaccination.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription and non-prescription drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Also, inform your healthcare provider about your medical history, especially if you have a history of poor blood circulation, immune system problems, certain skin conditions (rosacea, perioral dermatitis), or if you have had a recent vaccination.

If you have any questions about the potential interactions of Clindamycin 1%/Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Topical Lotion, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Clindamycin 1%/Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Topical Lotion is a specially formulated medication that combines the antibiotic properties of Clindamycin and the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of Clobetasol Propionate. This unique combination allows for a comprehensive approach to treating various skin conditions.

Clindamycin, an antibiotic, works by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. This action effectively stops the growth of bacteria, preventing the spread of infection.

Clobetasol Propionate, on the other hand, is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. It does this by suppressing the immune response, which reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation.

The lotion form of this medication is designed to be easily applied to the skin. It provides a smooth and spreadable consistency, which allows for even distribution of the medication on the affected area. The lotion also offers moisturizing effects, which can help soothe dry or irritated skin. The formulation promotes the absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring that they penetrate the skin to provide localized treatment.

It's important to note that while this medication can help manage symptoms and control the spread of infection, it does not cure the underlying condition. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the guidance of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use this product as directed to ensure its effectiveness and to minimize the risk of side effects.

If you have any questions about the Clindamycin 1%/Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Topical Lotion, or if you would like more information about how it works, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always 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.
