Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our compounded formulation of Coal Tar Topical Solution 10%/Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.025% Topical Gel. This unique blend is designed to address a range of skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. The dual-action of coal tar and betamethasone dipropionate works synergistically to alleviate inflammation, itching, and scaling that are commonly associated with these skin disorders.

The coal tar component of this formulation functions by decelerating the growth of skin cells, thereby reducing inflammation and relieving itching. On the other hand, betamethasone dipropionate, a potent corticosteroid, further aids in reducing inflammation and itching.

Our compounded formulation is a semisolid preparation dispensed through a pump mechanism, which ensures easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment allows for optimal absorption of the active ingredients in a gel-like consistency, providing a convenient and efficient method of application.

When using this product, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with the eyes and other mucous membranes to prevent any potential irritation or adverse reactions. Regular and consistent use as directed by your healthcare provider can lead to significant improvement in your skin condition.

If you have any queries or require further information about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to assisting you in finding the most suitable treatment for your skin condition.

This gel is intended for external use only. It should not be used on the face, underarms, or groin areas unless directed by your healthcare provider. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

What are the potential side effects of this gel?

Common side effects may include burning, itching, irritation, dryness, or redness at the application site. If these persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

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.
