How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Nitrofurazone 0.2% Topical Cream is a compounded prescription medication, specifically designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as impetigo, folliculitis, cellulitis, erysipelas, and furunculosis. This cream functions by eliminating the bacteria responsible for these skin infections. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application directly on the skin.

The cream should be applied to the affected area two to three times daily, or as per the instructions of your healthcare provider. Prior to and after the application of the cream, it is crucial to wash your hands thoroughly. Unless advised by your healthcare provider, the treated area should not be covered with a bandage or any other type of covering.

For the treatment to be effective, it is essential to use the cream for the entire duration of the prescribed course, even if your symptoms appear to improve. Discontinuing the use of the cream prematurely may result in the infection not being fully eradicated, leading to a potential recurrence.

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.
