Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Clindamycin, Hydrocortisone, and Salicylic Acid in a topical lotion designed for external application to the skin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on the skin. It is used to treat severe acne, a condition characterized by the presence of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. By reducing the number of bacteria, Clindamycin helps to decrease the number of acne lesions.

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation and swelling. It is used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. Hydrocortisone alleviates the itching, redness, and swelling associated with these conditions, providing relief to the patient.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic (peeling agent) that causes shedding of the outer layer of skin. It is used to treat conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff, acne, corns, and warts. By promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, Salicylic Acid helps to prevent clogged pores and reduces the formation of lesions.

The lotion base provides a smooth and spreadable consistency, making it easy to apply to the skin. It also offers moisturizing and soothing effects, which can help to alleviate any discomfort caused by the skin conditions being treated. The lotion promotes absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring that they are delivered directly to the affected area for localized treatment.

This formulation is a powerful combination of ingredients designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It offers the benefits of three active ingredients in one convenient lotion. As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider. Side effects may include dryness, peeling, or irritation at the application site. If these effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines the antibiotic properties of Clindamycin, the anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects of Hydrocortisone, and the keratolytic action of Salicylic Acid. It is primarily used to treat skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, and psoriasis. However, it is important to be aware of potential drug interactions.

Clindamycin, when used topically, has minimal systemic absorption. However, it may interact with neuromuscular blocking agents, enhancing their effects. If you are undergoing surgery or receiving these agents for other reasons, inform your healthcare provider about the use of this topical lotion. Clindamycin may also interact with erythromycin or tretinoin. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using these medications concurrently with this formulation.

Hydrocortisone, even though it is used topically in this formulation, can be absorbed systemically, especially when applied over large areas or under occlusive dressings. It may interact with drugs like insulin, diuretics, and cardiac glycosides, potentially requiring adjustments in their dosages. It can also interact with vaccines, potentially reducing their effectiveness. Therefore, inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any of these medications or planning to receive a vaccine.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic agent and is generally safe for topical use. However, it can enhance the absorption of other topical medications, potentially increasing their systemic effects. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using other topical medications along with this formulation. Salicylic Acid can also interact with blood thinners like warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding. If you are on blood thinners, inform your healthcare provider before starting this formulation.

It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive list of drug interactions. Other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal products, and dietary supplements, may also interact with this formulation. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a complete list of all the medications you are taking and share it with your healthcare provider. Also, do not start or stop any medication without consulting your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help you understand your medications better and ensure their safe and appropriate use.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines the antibiotic properties of Clindamycin, the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of Hydrocortisone, and the keratolytic and comedolytic actions of Salicylic Acid to treat a variety of skin conditions. The lotion form allows for easy application and absorption of these active ingredients into the skin for localized treatment.

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 number of acne lesions.

Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, works by decreasing the body's immune response to reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling. It is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. Hydrocortisone provides relief from itching and irritation by suppressing the immune response, which in turn reduces the inflammation and other symptoms associated with these conditions.

Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), works by softening and dissolving the keratin plug in the pores and exfoliating the skin's surface. This helps to prevent the clogging of pores, which can lead to acne breakouts. Salicylic Acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce the redness and inflammation associated with acne.

The combination of these three active ingredients in a lotion form allows for easy application and absorption into the skin. The lotion also provides a moisturizing effect, which can help to soothe irritated skin and improve the overall appearance of the skin. This formulation is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, dermatitis, eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information on how it can be used to treat specific skin conditions, please do not 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.
