Ketoconazole 2%/Salicylic Acid 3% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent antifungal properties of ketoconazole with the keratolytic and anti-inflammatory effects of salicylic acid, offering a comprehensive treatment solution for various skin ailments.

Ketoconazole, one of the active ingredients in this formulation, is a powerful antifungal agent. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi and other microorganisms, effectively treating and preventing fungal infections. Salicylic acid, on the other hand, is a keratolytic agent. It functions by exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation.

Together, ketoconazole and salicylic acid create a potent combination that provides broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and keratolytic effects.

This compounded medication is dispensed in a semisolid preparation via a pump mechanism. This design ensures convenient and controlled application on the skin, allowing for localized treatment and optimal absorption of the active ingredients. Patients are typically advised to apply the cream to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider.

While Ketoconazole 2%/Salicylic Acid 3% Topical Cream is generally safe and well-tolerated, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Side effects are minimal, but as with any medication, individual experiences may vary.

If you have any questions about Ketoconazole 2%/Salicylic Acid 3% Topical Cream, or any other compounded medications, we encourage you to reach out. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality compounded medications and is always here to assist with any queries or concerns you may have.

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.
