It is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing for precise and controlled administration, and is primarily used for the targeted treatment of scalp conditions such as Seborrheic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Eczema, Dandruff, and Acne. This formulation delivers medication, nourishing ingredients, and therapeutic agents directly to the scalp for optimal results.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be applied to broken or irritated skin, nor should it be used on the face, as it may cause irritation. The recommended usage is twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Coal Tar Topical Solution 2%/Salicylic Acid 2% Scalp Solution is a specially formulated liquid designed for topical application to the scalp. It combines two active ingredients, coal tar and salicylic acid, to effectively treat a variety of skin conditions. Coal tar, an anti-inflammatory and antifungal agent, helps to alleviate itching, scaling, and redness. Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in reducing the thickness of the skin's outer layer, thereby allowing the coal tar to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

The solution is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing for precise and controlled administration directly to the affected areas of the scalp. This targeted treatment delivers medication and therapeutic agents directly to the scalp for optimal results.

When using this formulation, it is crucial to follow the directions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the solution should be applied to the affected area of the scalp twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. If contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

It's worth noting that this formulation may cause skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If these side effects occur, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about Coal Tar Topical Solution 2%/Salicylic Acid 2% Scalp Solution or how it can help treat your skin condition, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
