How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

EGCG 1% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. The primary active ingredient in this formulation is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent polyphenol found in green tea. EGCG is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

EGCG works by reducing inflammation and redness, which are common symptoms of skin conditions. It also helps to regulate the production of sebum, an oily substance produced by the skin. Overproduction of sebum can lead to acne, and by controlling its production, EGCG can help manage acne symptoms. Furthermore, EGCG can alleviate the itching and flaking associated with psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis, providing relief for these conditions.

For optimal results, apply EGCG 1% Topical Cream to the affected area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying the cream. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water. It is also recommended to avoid sun exposure while using this medication, as it can increase the risk of sunburn.

While EGCG 1% Topical Cream is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience skin irritation or redness. If these side effects occur, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider. It's important to remember that everyone's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Therefore, it's essential to monitor your skin's response to the treatment and adjust usage accordingly.

If you have any questions or concerns about using EGCG 1% Topical Cream to treat your skin condition, don't hesitate to reach out. It's important to use this medication as part of a comprehensive skincare routine, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

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.
