Formula Information

Bayview Pharmacy's Coal Tar Topical Solution 48.5%/Benzocaine 2%/Salicylic Acid 1% Topical Solution is a potent compounded formulation designed to address a range of dermatological conditions. This unique blend combines 48.5% coal tar, 2% benzocaine, and 1% salicylic acid, each contributing its own therapeutic properties to the solution.

Coal tar, making up nearly half of the formulation, is a proven antifungal and antiparasitic agent. It is widely used in dermatology for its effectiveness in treating various skin conditions. Benzocaine, a topical anesthetic, is included at 2% to alleviate discomfort by numbing the skin and reducing itching. The 1% salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent, which aids in reducing inflammation and promoting the exfoliation of the skin.

This solution is primarily indicated for the treatment of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, but its versatile nature allows it to be used for other skin conditions as well. It is designed to alleviate symptoms such as itching, scaling, and redness associated with these conditions. Additionally, it can help reduce the risk of infection and promote the healing process.

How Does it Work

This compounded formulation is a potent blend of Coal Tar Topical Solution 48.5%, Benzocaine 2%, and Salicylic Acid 1%. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in treating various skin conditions. Coal tar, a powerful antifungal and antiparasitic agent, works to alleviate itching, scaling, and inflammation associated with certain skin conditions. Benzocaine, a local anesthetic, aids in reducing pain and itching, providing relief to the affected areas. Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, assists in reducing scaling and flaking of the skin, promoting the shedding of the outer layer of the skin.

This formulation is primarily used to treat a range of skin conditions, including psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema. It is also effective in treating fungal infections such as athlete's foot and ringworm. The versatility of this formulation makes it a valuable tool in the management of various dermatological conditions.

To use this formulation, apply a thin layer to the affected area of skin twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently massage the solution into the skin until it is completely absorbed. Avoid covering the area with a bandage or other covering unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. This allows the skin to breathe and the medication to work effectively.

While this formulation is designed to be gentle on the skin, it may cause skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation in some individuals. If these side effects occur, it is recommended to discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately. It is always important to monitor your skin's reaction to a new treatment and report any adverse effects promptly.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you in your journey towards healthier skin.
