Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 1%/Salicylic Acid 0.5% Scalp Lotion is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the therapeutic properties of hydrocortisone and salicylic acid, offering a targeted treatment for conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp eczema.

Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, is known for its potent anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties. It works by reducing the body's immune response, thereby alleviating symptoms such as swelling, redness, and itching associated with various skin conditions. On the other hand, salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in the shedding of the outer layer of the skin. It helps to soften and slough off scales and crusts on the scalp, promoting healthier skin underneath.

This dual-action formulation not only provides symptomatic relief but also addresses the root cause of the skin condition. By reducing inflammation and promoting exfoliation, it helps to manage the symptoms of skin conditions, including itching, redness, and scaling, while promoting the overall health of the scalp.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we take pride in our ability to offer this compounded formulation to our patients. Our team of experienced compounding pharmacists is well-versed in creating customized medications to meet the unique needs of each patient. We are committed to providing high-quality, personalized care to our patients. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help manage your skin condition, we encourage you to contact us.

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.
