Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a unique combination of Clobetasol-17-Propionate 0.05%, Coal Tar Solution 5%, and Salicylic Acid 3% in a topical liquid form. It is specifically designed for direct application to the skin or mucosal surfaces, providing targeted therapeutic benefits. This formulation is often chosen for localized treatment or when avoiding systemic effects is desired.

Clobetasol-17-Propionate is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune response. It is commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The inclusion of this ingredient in the formulation helps to alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling associated with these conditions.

Coal Tar Solution is a byproduct of coal processing that has been used for centuries to treat skin conditions. It works by slowing the growth of skin cells, thereby reducing the scaling and hardening of the skin seen in conditions like psoriasis. It also has mild antiseptic properties, which can help prevent infection in damaged skin.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic agent, which means it helps to soften and shed the outer layer of skin. This can help to reduce scaling and improve the appearance of the skin. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness and swelling.

Together, these three active ingredients work synergistically to reduce inflammation, slow the growth of skin cells, and soften and shed the outer layer of skin. This can help to alleviate the symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, and improve the appearance of the skin.

It is important to note that while this formulation can help to manage the symptoms of these conditions, it is not a cure. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the supervision of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed, and to report any side effects to your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information about how it can be used to treat your specific condition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Clobetasol-17-Propionate, Coal Tar Solution, and Salicylic Acid, each of which has its own unique therapeutic properties and potential interactions. Clobetasol-17-Propionate is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching. It is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. However, it can interact with other topically applied medications, particularly those that also have a skin-thinning effect. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products, before starting treatment with this medication.

Coal Tar Solution is a keratolytic agent that works by causing the skin to shed dead cells from its top layer and slow down the growth of skin cells. This effect decreases scaling and dryness. Coal tar can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds. It is also not recommended to use other products on the same skin area unless directed by your doctor. Due to the potential for increased absorption, use on large areas of skin, broken or raw skin, or under occlusive dressings should be avoided unless directed by a physician.

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. However, it can interact with other drugs that are applied topically. In particular, using other topical medications at the same time as salicylic acid may result in increased absorption and risk of salicylate toxicity. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products, before starting treatment with this medication.

This formulation is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, and other inflammatory skin disorders. The combination of these three active ingredients provides a comprehensive approach to treatment, addressing inflammation, skin cell turnover, and the removal of scales. However, as with all medications, it is important to use this product under the guidance of a healthcare provider and to report any unusual or severe side effects immediately.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the information and support you need to make informed decisions about your health.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines three active ingredients: Clobetasol-17-Propionate, Coal Tar Solution, and Salicylic Acid, each with a unique mechanism of action to treat various skin conditions. Clobetasol-17-Propionate is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. It does this by suppressing the immune response, thereby reducing the production of chemicals that cause inflammation in the body.

Coal Tar Solution is a byproduct of coal processing that has been used for centuries to treat skin conditions. It works by slowing the growth of skin cells, reducing the thickness of the skin and the production of scales. This makes it particularly useful in treating psoriasis, where the skin cells reproduce at an abnormally fast rate. Coal Tar Solution also has mild antiseptic properties, which can help to reduce the risk of infection in damaged skin.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic, which means it works by breaking down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure. This helps to soften and shed the outermost layer of skin, which can help to reduce scaling and improve the appearance of the skin. Salicylic Acid also has mild anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness and swelling.

When combined in a topical liquid, these three ingredients can provide a comprehensive treatment for a range of skin conditions. The liquid formulation allows for direct application to the affected area, providing targeted treatment and reducing the risk of systemic side effects. It can be particularly beneficial for patients with localized skin conditions, or those who are unable to tolerate systemic treatments.

As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you're experiencing any side effects, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We're 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.
