Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Coal Tar Topical Solution 5%/Salicylic Acid 3% Pearlescent Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation, dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is specifically indicated for the treatment of various skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, acne, and skin infections. It is crucial to remember that this product should not be applied on broken or irritated skin.

Patients are advised to apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice daily or as per the instructions of their healthcare provider. It is essential to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, it is recommended to rinse thoroughly with water.

Patients should also be cautious about exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light while using this product. The salicylic acid component of the cream may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, thereby increasing the risk of sunburn. Therefore, it is advisable to use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposed to the sun.

It is also recommended to avoid using other topical products on the same area unless directed by a healthcare provider. If irritation or sensitivity occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider. For any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Coal Tar Topical Solution 5%/Salicylic Acid 3% Pearlescent Topical Cream is a potent compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines the anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of coal tar with the keratolytic action of salicylic acid. This unique blend works synergistically to alleviate symptoms associated with psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, acne, and skin infections.

Coal tar, a well-known anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent, helps to alleviate itching, scaling, and redness associated with various skin conditions. On the other hand, salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, reduces the thickness of the outer layer of the skin, thereby enhancing the penetration of coal tar into the deeper layers of the skin.

In the case of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema, this formulation works by reducing inflammation and itching, while also facilitating deeper penetration of coal tar into the skin through the thinning of the outer skin layer by salicylic acid. For acne and skin infections, the formulation helps to reduce inflammation and itching, while also promoting the penetration of coal tar into the skin for enhanced therapeutic effect.

This formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application. It should be applied to the affected area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to follow the directions on the label and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. If you have any questions about how to use this formulation, please consult your healthcare provider.

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.
