Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical ointment containing Clindamycin 3% and Doxycycline 1%. This semi-solid formulation, dispensed in a tube, is designed for external application to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the medication. This formulation is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.

The combination of Clindamycin and Doxycycline in this formulation is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and bacterial infections. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, while Doxycycline is another antibiotic that not only inhibits bacterial growth but also reduces inflammation. Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to combat skin conditions effectively.

This formulation is user-friendly and can be applied directly to the affected area. However, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this product. Please note that this formulation should not be used on open wounds or on areas of the skin that are broken or irritated.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can be used to treat your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option for your needs. Please remember, while we strive to provide comprehensive information and assistance, we do not claim to be the most knowledgeable compounding pharmacy known to man.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation specifically designed for external application to the skin. This compounded formulation is primarily used for the treatment of acne vulgaris, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the active ingredients, Clindamycin and Doxycycline, for localized treatment.

It is crucial to understand that this formulation is not intended for the treatment of other skin conditions, as its effectiveness may not be guaranteed. Furthermore, it should not be used in conjunction with other topical antibiotics, as this could potentially increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, a serious global health concern.

Patients using this formulation should be aware of potential side effects, which may include skin irritation, dryness, or redness. If any of these side effects occur, it is recommended to discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare provider. Additionally, this formulation may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, making it more susceptible to sunburn. Therefore, it is advised to use a sunscreen when exposed to direct sunlight while using this ointment.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that combines two potent antibiotics, clindamycin and doxycycline, designed for external application to the skin. This formulation is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of these therapeutic agents for localized treatment.

Clindamycin works by halting the growth of bacteria, while doxycycline inhibits bacterial growth. It also shows efficacy in treating fungal skin infections, such as athlete's foot and ringworm.

To use this ointment, apply a thin layer to the affected skin area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. The ointment should be gently rubbed into the skin until it is completely absorbed. Avoid covering the treated area with a bandage or other covering unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to use Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completion. Discontinuing the ointment prematurely may result in the infection not being fully eradicated, and could potentially lead to the bacteria developing resistance to the antibiotics.

If you have any questions or concerns about how to use Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to ensuring you receive the maximum benefit from your treatment.

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.
