It is also important to avoid contact with clothing as coal tar can cause staining. After application, patients should wash their hands thoroughly.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Coal Tar Topical Solution 3% Soapless Shampoo is a specially formulated liquid medication designed for the treatment of various skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema. It functions by reducing inflammation and itching, while also slowing down the growth of skin cells. The coal tar component of the shampoo aids in decreasing the oil content on the skin, which can significantly alleviate the symptoms associated with these skin conditions.

The soapless nature of the shampoo ensures a gentle cleansing action on the skin without causing dryness. To use this product, dampen the affected area with lukewarm water and apply a small quantity of the shampoo. Massage the shampoo gently into the skin for 1-2 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. This process should be repeated 1-2 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to understand that Coal Tar Topical Solution 3% Soapless Shampoo may cause skin irritation. Therefore, it should be used as directed and contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth should be avoided. If you experience any irritation or other adverse effects, discontinue use of the shampoo and consult 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.
