Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream that contains Dapsone 5% and Niacinamide 4%. This unique formulation is specifically designed to address various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. The cream is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

Dapsone, an antibiotic, functions by inhibiting bacterial growth, while Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, aids in reducing inflammation and redness. The combination of these two ingredients works synergistically to decrease the severity of skin conditions and also aids in preventing future breakouts.

This formulation is safe for all skin types and can be used either as a spot treatment or as a full-face cream. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be applied to open wounds or areas of the skin that are broken or irritated.

If you have any queries about this formulation or its usage, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Please remember, while we strive to provide comprehensive information and guidance, we do not claim to be the most knowledgeable compounding pharmacy known to man.

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.
