Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Clindamycin 1%, Ketoconazole 2%, and Salicylic Acid 1% in a topical liquid preparation. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on the skin. It is used to treat severe acne and helps to decrease the number of acne lesions. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that prevents fungus from growing on your skin. It is used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and certain kinds of dandruff. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic (peeling agent) that causes shedding of the outer layer of skin. It is used to treat skin conditions such as acne, dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis of the skin and scalp.

The liquid preparation is designed for direct application to the skin or mucosal surfaces, offering targeted therapeutic benefits. This is often chosen for localized treatment or when avoiding systemic effects is desired. The formulation is applied topically, which means it is applied directly to the area of the skin where the treatment is needed. This can help to reduce the potential for systemic side effects, such as stomach upset or dizziness, that can occur with oral medications.

It is important to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use Clindamycin, Ketoconazole, and Salicylic Acid exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Before using this medication, clean the affected area with a mild soap or cleanser, rinse with warm water, and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of the medication to the affected area. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you do get the medication in these areas, rinse with plenty of water.

It is important to continue using this medication even if you feel well. Do not stop using the medication without talking to your doctor. If you stop using the medication too early, your symptoms may return.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to assist you.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines the antibiotic Clindamycin, the antifungal Ketoconazole, and the keratolytic agent Salicylic Acid. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that treats skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and certain kinds of dandruff. Salicylic Acid helps to shed dead skin cells from the top layer and decrease redness and swelling (inflammation).

While this formulation is generally safe, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Clindamycin, when used topically, has minimal systemic absorption and thus, the likelihood of systemic drug interactions is low. However, it may interact with neuromuscular blocking agents, so caution should be exercised if the patient is also receiving such treatments. Ketoconazole, even when used topically, can interact with many drugs due to its effect on certain liver enzymes. It can increase the levels of many drugs in the body, including certain antihistamines, benzodiazepines, calcium channel blockers, and certain statins. Salicylic Acid is also absorbed minimally through the skin, but caution should be exercised if the patient is also taking other medications that affect blood clotting or platelet function, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, or warfarin, as it may enhance their effects.

Patients should be advised to inform their healthcare provider of all the medications they are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and herbal products. They should also be advised to avoid using other topical products on the same area unless directed by their healthcare provider, as this may alter the effectiveness of the medication or increase the risk of side effects. If irritation or sensitivity develops with the use of this formulation, the patient should be advised to discontinue use and consult their healthcare provider.

This formulation is intended for topical use only and should not be ingested or applied to the eyes or mucous membranes. It should be used as directed by a healthcare provider, and the treated area should not be bandaged or otherwise covered or wrapped unless directed by a healthcare provider. Patients should be advised to wash their hands after applying this medication, unless the hands are the area being treated.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to 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

This formulation combines the antibiotic Clindamycin, the antifungal Ketoconazole, and the keratolytic agent Salicylic Acid in a liquid preparation designed for direct application to the skin or mucosal surfaces. Each of these active ingredients plays a crucial role in managing various skin conditions.

Clindamycin, an antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth of bacteria. By reducing the population of these bacteria on the skin, Clindamycin helps to reduce the inflammation and redness associated with acne.

Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, causing the cell contents to leak out and leading to the death of the fungus. By eliminating the fungal infection, Ketoconazole helps to alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic agent, which means it works by softening and loosening the top layer of skin, allowing the removal of dead skin cells. This helps to unclog pores and reduce the formation of comedones, which are often a precursor to acne lesions. Salicylic Acid also has mild anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce the redness and swelling associated with acne and other inflammatory skin conditions.

By combining these three active ingredients in a single formulation, this product offers a comprehensive approach to the management of various skin conditions. The liquid preparation allows for easy application and ensures that the active ingredients are delivered directly to the affected area, providing targeted therapeutic benefits. This formulation is often chosen for localized treatment or when avoiding systemic effects is desired.

As with any medication, it is important to use this product as directed by a healthcare professional. Side effects may include dryness, peeling, or irritation at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, or if you have any questions about this formulation, please 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.
