A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Pentoxifylline 15% Topical Gel is a semisolid preparation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. It is primarily used for targeted treatment of various skin conditions such as Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, Acne, and Rosacea.

Pentoxifylline is also believed to decrease the production of inflammatory cytokines, which can help alleviate the severity of symptoms associated with these skin conditions.

However, it is crucial to note that Pentoxifylline should not be applied on broken or irritated skin. It should be used cautiously in patients with a history of allergies or asthma. Some patients may experience skin irritation as a side effect of Pentoxifylline, and should be closely monitored for any signs of adverse reactions. If any adverse reactions occur, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider immediately.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Pentoxifylline 15% Topical Gel is a specialized medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, and rosacea. This non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) functions by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation.

It is typically applied twice daily, directly to the affected skin area. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare professional when using this medication.

Generally, Pentoxifylline 15% Topical Gel is well tolerated. However, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation, burning, or itching. If you encounter any of these side effects, discontinue using the medication and consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

It is essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional when using this medication. If you have any queries, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
