Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Coal Tar Solution at a concentration of 10% and Triamcinolone Acetonide at a concentration of 0.1% in a topical ointment. The semi-solid formulation is designed for external application to the skin and is dispensed in a tube. The greasy or oily base of the ointment aids in the delivery of the medication, providing localized treatment for a variety of skin conditions.

Coal Tar Solution is a keratolytic agent, which means it helps to shed dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin. This action can help to reduce scaling, dryness, and itchiness associated with certain skin conditions. It also has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and antiseptic properties, which can help to soothe and heal the skin.

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, redness, and swelling. It can also help to relieve itching and discomfort associated with various skin conditions.

Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from symptoms and promote healing of the skin. The ointment base also provides a protective barrier on the skin, which can help to prevent further irritation or infection. It is typically applied to the affected area as directed by a healthcare provider, and the amount of ointment used and the frequency of application can vary depending on the specific condition being treated.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief from symptoms, it is not a cure for the underlying condition. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan under the guidance of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use this formulation as directed and to report any side effects or adverse reactions to your healthcare provider.

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 don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our knowledgeable team of compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Coal Tar Solution at a concentration of 10% and Triamcinolone Acetonide at a concentration of 0.1% in a topical ointment. 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, helping to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. Triamcinolone Acetonide is a medium- to strong-potency corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness.

While this formulation is generally safe for use, it is important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Corticosteroids like Triamcinolone Acetonide can interact with certain medications, including some vaccines. It is recommended to avoid live vaccines during treatment with this medication. If you are scheduled for a vaccination, please inform your healthcare provider about your current medication regimen.

Coal Tar Solution may interact with other topical medications, particularly those that cause skin irritation or dryness. Using these medications together with Coal Tar Solution may increase the risk of severe skin irritation. If you are using other topical treatments, it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.

Furthermore, both Coal Tar Solution and Triamcinolone Acetonide can increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight, leading to a higher risk of sunburn. It is recommended to limit sun exposure and use sun protection while using this formulation. Avoid using sunlamps or tanning beds, and wear protective clothing when outdoors.

It is also important to note that this formulation is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If the medication accidentally gets into these areas, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation or discomfort persists, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements. This will help your healthcare provider to monitor for drug interactions and manage them appropriately. If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your medication needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines two active ingredients, Coal Tar Solution at 10% and Triamcinolone Acetonide at 0.1%, in a topical ointment designed for external application to the skin. The semi-solid formulation is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the medication or therapeutic agents for localized treatment.

Coal Tar Solution is a byproduct of the coal processing industry and has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions. It works by slowing down the growth of skin cells, reducing inflammation and scaling, and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells.

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. It does this by suppressing the immune response in the skin, which can lead to inflammation and other symptoms in conditions such as dermatitis, allergies, and rashes. The 0.1% concentration in this formulation provides a potent anti-inflammatory effect, while minimizing the risk of side effects commonly associated with systemic corticosteroid use.

Together, these two ingredients provide a comprehensive treatment for a range of skin conditions. The Coal Tar Solution helps to normalize skin cell growth and shed dead skin cells, while the Triamcinolone Acetonide reduces inflammation and itching. The greasy or oily base of the ointment also helps to moisturize the skin and provide a protective barrier, which can aid in wound healing and prevent further damage or infection.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief from symptoms, it is not a cure for the underlying conditions. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the guidance of a healthcare provider. As with any medication, it's important to use it as directed, and to monitor for any potential side effects or adverse reactions.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information on how it can be used to treat specific conditions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy 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.
