Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical gel formulation of Podophyllum 20%/Benzocaine 4.75%. This unique blend of active ingredients is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, including warts, psoriasis, and eczema.

Podophyllum, a plant-derived active ingredient, has a long history of use in the treatment of warts. It functions by causing the wart to dry out and eventually fall off. On the other hand, Benzocaine is a topical anesthetic that aids in alleviating the pain and discomfort associated with warts.

Podophyllum aids in reducing inflammation and itching, while Benzocaine provides relief from pain and discomfort.

The topical gel formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the skin. It can be used up to three times a day, as per the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to adhere to the usage instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this product. If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option for your needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Podophyllum 20%/Benzocaine 4.75% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent properties of podophyllum, an antimitotic agent that inhibits cell growth, and benzocaine, a local anesthetic that provides pain relief. Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate symptoms associated with various skin conditions.

When applied to the skin, this topical gel works to reduce inflammation and itching, while also providing a numbing effect. It is most commonly used to treat conditions such as warts, molluscum contagiosum, and other skin lesions. However, it can also be beneficial in managing other skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

To use this gel, it should be applied directly to the affected area twice daily. Prior to application, it is recommended to cleanse the area with soap and water, then dry thoroughly. The gel should be applied in a thin layer and allowed to dry before covering with a bandage or dressing.

It is crucial to note that this gel should not be used on broken or irritated skin, and should be avoided on the face or genitals. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In the event of accidental contact, the area should be rinsed immediately with water.

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.
