Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Erythromycin 2%/Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.025% Topical Ointment is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a wide range of skin conditions. This semi-solid formulation, dispensed in a tube, is intended for external application to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the medication, ensuring localized treatment for optimal effectiveness.

The ointment combines two potent active ingredients, erythromycin and fluocinolone acetonide, to deliver both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Erythromycin, an antibiotic, works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin, thereby preventing or treating infections. On the other hand, fluocinolone acetonide, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation and itching, providing relief from discomfort and promoting healing. The combination of these two ingredients in the ointment offers a comprehensive approach to skin treatment, addressing both the symptoms and the underlying causes of various skin conditions.

The application of this formulation is straightforward. It can be directly applied to the affected area as per the directions provided by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes when using this medication. Always follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to ensure the best possible results.

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.
