Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical gel that combines clindamycin 1% and tretinoin 0.025%. This unique blend of medications is designed to address a range of skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. Clindamycin, an antibiotic, functions by eliminating bacteria that can lead to skin infections. On the other hand, tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, aids in reducing inflammation and unclogging pores.

When used in conjunction, clindamycin and tretinoin can significantly decrease the severity of acne, lessen redness and inflammation, and enhance the overall skin appearance. This formulation is also effective in managing rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis, two prevalent skin conditions that can result in redness, itching, and flaking.

This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. Patients are advised to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area once or twice daily, as instructed by their healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed usage and not to exceed the recommended dosage.

Common side effects of this formulation may include dryness, redness, and irritation of the skin. However, these are typically mild and temporary. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, please consult your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option tailored to your individual needs.
