This formulation combines two active ingredients, Coal Tar and Fluocinonide, in a topical ointment designed for external application to the skin. The ointment is a semi-solid formulation dispensed in a tube, providing a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the medication or therapeutic agents for localized treatment.
Coal Tar, a byproduct of coal processing, has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions. It 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, which can lead to a reduction in itching and other symptoms associated with skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis.
Fluocinonide is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. It is typically used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and allergic reactions. By suppressing the immune response, Fluocinonide can help to reduce the symptoms of these conditions and improve the overall health of the skin.
Together, these two ingredients provide a comprehensive treatment approach for a variety of skin conditions. The Coal Tar works to reduce scaling and dryness, while the Fluocinonide reduces inflammation and itching. This dual-action approach can provide significant relief for patients suffering from conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.
It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief from symptoms, it is not a cure for these conditions. Patients should continue to follow their healthcare provider's advice regarding lifestyle changes and other treatments. As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider, and to report any side effects or worsening symptoms immediately.

This formulation of Coal Tar 1%/Fluocinonide 0.05% Topical Ointment is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions, including inflammation, infections, and wounds. Coal tar is a byproduct of coal processing that has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and keratolytic properties. It 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, helping to restore the skin's appearance. Fluocinonide is a potent corticosteroid that reduces itching, redness, and swelling associated with various skin conditions.
While this formulation is generally safe for use, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Topical corticosteroids like fluocinonide can interact with other topically applied medications, potentially enhancing their absorption and increasing the risk of systemic side effects. Therefore, it's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products, before starting treatment with this ointment.
Coal tar can stain skin and clothing, and it may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps when using this medication. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Also, avoid using other products on the treated skin unless directed by your doctor, as it may increase the risk of skin irritation.
Fluocinonide should not be used with occlusive dressings unless directed by a healthcare provider, as this can increase systemic absorption and the risk of side effects. Also, avoid applying this medication to the face, groin, or underarms, or if you have skin atrophy, unless directed by your doctor. Long-term use, especially in large amounts or on large areas of skin, can lead to side effects such as skin thinning/discoloration, easy bruising/bleeding, or hair follicles problems.
It's important to use this medication only for the condition for which it was prescribed and not to use it for longer than recommended. If your condition does not improve after two weeks of treatment, or if it worsens, contact your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this medication or its potential interactions, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help.
This formulation combines two active ingredients, Coal Tar and Fluocinonide, each with its unique mechanism of action, to treat various skin conditions. Coal Tar, a byproduct of coal processing, has been used for centuries to treat skin conditions. It 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, which can lead to a reduction in itching associated with conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis.
Fluocinonide, on the other hand, is a potent corticosteroid. It works by reducing the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling. It's typically used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. When applied to the skin, Fluocinonide acts inside the skin cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances, reducing swelling, redness, and itch.
The ointment base in this formulation serves as a vehicle to deliver these active ingredients to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily layer that aids in the delivery of the medication, ensuring that the active ingredients are evenly distributed across the affected area. This base also helps to moisturize the skin and protect the area from further irritation or damage.
Together, Coal Tar and Fluocinonide in this formulation work synergistically to reduce inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with various skin conditions. It's important to note that while this ointment can help manage symptoms, it is not a cure for the underlying conditions. Regular use as directed by a healthcare provider is necessary to maintain the benefits of this treatment.
As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or open wounds unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. If you experience any side effects such as skin irritation, burning, or signs of a skin infection (such as worsening redness, swelling, or pus), contact your healthcare provider immediately.
If you have any questions about this formulation, how to use it, or if it's the right treatment for your skin condition, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to help.
