Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical solution designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines Coal Tar Topical Solution at a concentration of 5%, Zinc Pyrithione at 0.8%, and Clobetasol Propionate at 0.05% in a topical cream.

Coal tar, a natural byproduct of coal distillation, serves as an anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agent in this formulation. It works to alleviate itching, scaling, and redness associated with psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. Zinc pyrithione, an antifungal and antibacterial agent, is included to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on the skin. Lastly, the formulation includes Clobetasol propionate, a potent topical corticosteroid, which aids in reducing inflammation and itching associated with these skin conditions.

This compounded formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This allows for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring that the medication is applied precisely where it's needed. This method of application not only enhances the effectiveness of the treatment but also minimizes potential side effects.

It is crucial to adhere to the directions provided by your healthcare provider when using this formulation. If you have any questions or concerns about this compounded topical solution, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality of care and service.

Can I use this cream on my face?

Unless directed by your healthcare provider, this cream should not be used on the face. The skin on the face is more sensitive and may react differently to the active ingredients in this formulation.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply extra cream to make up for a missed dose.

What are the potential side effects of this cream?

Side effects may include burning, stinging, itching, dryness, or redness at the application site. If these effects 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.
