Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a compounded topical cream containing Clotrimazole 0.33%, Hydrocortisone 0.33%, and Zinc Oxide 3.3%. It is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is intended for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that works by stopping the growth of fungus. It is commonly used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and yeast infections. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces redness, itching, and swelling. It is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions including eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. Zinc Oxide is a skin protectant that forms a barrier on the skin to protect against irritation and moisture. It is often used in treating minor skin irritations such as burns, cuts, and diaper rash.

The antifungal properties of Clotrimazole, the anti-inflammatory and itch-relieving properties of Hydrocortisone, and the skin-protecting properties of Zinc Oxide work together to provide relief from various skin conditions. The pump mechanism allows for easy and controlled application of the cream, ensuring that the right amount of medication is applied to the affected area.

Patients using this formulation should follow the directions provided by their healthcare provider. The cream should be applied to the affected area as directed, usually once or twice daily. It is important to continue using the medication for the full treatment time recommended by the healthcare provider, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.

Prescribers should consider the patient's medical history, current medications, and potential drug interactions when prescribing this formulation. Patients with a history of allergic reactions to any of the active ingredients should not use this formulation. Additionally, prescribers should monitor the patient's response to treatment and adjust the dosage or frequency of application as necessary.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines the antifungal properties of clotrimazole, the anti-inflammatory and itch-relieving properties of hydrocortisone, and the skin-protecting and astringent properties of zinc oxide. It is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including fungal infections, eczema, dermatitis, and minor skin irritations. The cream is dispensed via a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application.

Clotrimazole, as an antifungal agent, works by inhibiting the growth of fungus on the skin. It is important to note that clotrimazole can interact with certain medications. For instance, it can increase the blood levels and effects of tacrolimus, a medication used to prevent organ transplant rejection. This can lead to serious side effects such as kidney problems, high blood pressure, or nervous system problems. Therefore, if you are taking tacrolimus or similar medications, inform your healthcare provider before using this cream.

Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, reduces redness, itching, and swelling. It can interact with certain medications, including some vaccines. It may decrease the body's immune response to these vaccines. Therefore, if you are scheduled for a vaccination, inform your healthcare provider before using this cream. Also, using hydrocortisone with certain medications that lower the immune system can increase the chances of getting an infection.

Zinc oxide is a skin protectant that forms a barrier on the skin to protect it from irritants and moisture. It is generally considered safe and does not typically interact with other medications. However, it can cause a minor skin irritation in some people. If you experience any unusual skin reactions after using this cream, stop using it and contact your healthcare provider.

It is important to use this cream as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not use it more often or for a longer period than recommended. This can increase the risk of side effects. Also, avoid using this cream on broken or infected skin unless directed by your healthcare provider. If your condition does not improve or if it worsens after using this cream, contact your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are a team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists who are here to help you.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines three active ingredients: Clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone, and Zinc Oxide, each with a unique mechanism of action to treat a variety of skin conditions. The cream is designed to be easily applied to the skin, with a pump mechanism for controlled dispensing.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that works by inhibiting the growth of fungus. It does this by interfering with the production of the fungal cell membrane. The cell membrane of a fungus is crucial for its survival. It keeps unwanted substances from entering the cells and stops the contents of the cells from leaking out. By disrupting the cell membrane, Clotrimazole causes the contents of the fungal cells to leak out, which kills the fungi and treats the infection.

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that works by decreasing the body's immune response to reduce symptoms such as swelling, redness, and itching. It does this by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. This helps to reduce the redness, swelling and itching associated with skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and allergic reactions.

Zinc Oxide is a skin protectant that provides a barrier on the skin to protect it from irritants and to help soothe and heal the skin. It works by forming a physical barrier on the skin to protect against irritants and to help keep the area moist. This barrier helps to promote the healing of the skin and to reduce symptoms such as itching and redness.

The cream is designed to be easily applied to the skin, with a pump mechanism for controlled dispensing. This allows for precise application of the cream to the affected area, ensuring that the active ingredients are delivered where they are needed most.

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.
