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 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.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation designed for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used by patients with a known hypersensitivity to either clindamycin or tretinoin. It is also not suitable for patients with eczematous or sunburned skin. Patients are advised to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental contact, the area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.

Patients should also be cautious about excessive exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light while using this formulation. This is because the active ingredients in the gel can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, potentially leading to sunburn or skin damage.

Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel may interact with other topical medications, including benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, and salicylic acid. Therefore, patients are advised to avoid using these medications concurrently with this formulation. Furthermore, this formulation may interact with systemic medications, including erythromycin, tetracycline, and isotretinoin. It is important for patients to inform their healthcare provider if they are taking any of these medications.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information or clarification.

This medication is dispensed in a semisolid formulation through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. It is typically applied to the affected areas of the skin once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional.

When using Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Additionally, it is important to limit sun exposure while using this medication, as it can heighten the risk of sunburn.

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.
