Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Diphenylcyclopropenone 2% Topical Ointment is a specially compounded prescription medication, designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and alopecia areata. This semi-solid formulation is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin. The ointment provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the active ingredient, Diphenylcyclopropenone, for localized treatment.

The medication works by suppressing the immune system, which in turn helps to reduce inflammation and itching associated with various skin conditions. It is crucial to remember that this ointment should not be applied to broken or infected skin, as it may exacerbate the condition or lead to unwanted side effects.

Common side effects associated with Diphenylcyclopropenone 2% Topical Ointment include burning, stinging, redness, and irritation at the application site. These side effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or become severe, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Diphenylcyclopropenone 2% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that is dispensed in a tube and is designed for external application to the skin. This formulation provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the medication for localized treatment. It is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.

This topical ointment is primarily indicated for the treatment of alopecia areata, a condition characterized by patchy hair loss. The medication works by inducing an immune response in the affected area, which leads to the formation of new hair follicles. However, it is important to note that this treatment is not a cure for alopecia areata, and the hair loss may recur after treatment is stopped. Additionally, it may take several months for the new hair to grow.

Diphenylcyclopropenone 2% Topical Ointment may also be used to treat psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. The medication works by suppressing the immune response that causes the formation of psoriatic plaques. Again, it is important to note that this treatment is not a cure for psoriasis, and the condition may recur after treatment is stopped.

The ointment should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse the area with water immediately.

Common side effects of Diphenylcyclopropenone 2% Topical Ointment include burning, stinging, itching, redness, and dryness. If these side effects become severe or do not go away, it is recommended to contact your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about using Diphenylcyclopropenone 2% Topical Ointment, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further guidance.

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.
