Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to offer a specially compounded topical suspension of Erythromycin 2%/Clindamycin 1%. This unique formulation is designed to address a range of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and bacterial skin infections. The dual-action of these two potent antibiotics works synergistically to reduce inflammation and eliminate bacteria that can lead to infection.

Erythromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that functions by inhibiting bacterial growth. Clindamycin, on the other hand, is an antibiotic that not only halts bacterial growth but also reduces inflammation.

The combination of these two antibiotics in our topical suspension formulation provides a powerful tool in the fight against skin conditions. The liquid formulation, containing solid particles dispersed in a liquid medium, is specifically designed for topical application. It offers a smooth and easy-to-spread consistency.

This formulation is suitable for all skin types and is easy to apply. It is crucial to adhere to the usage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to achieve the best results. If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

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.
