Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 17% Topical Solution is a potent topical medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. As a keratolytic agent, it facilitates the breakdown and removal of dead skin cells, paving the way for the growth of new skin cells. This liquid formulation is specifically intended for external application to the skin, offering a convenient and versatile method of delivering medication, therapeutic agents, or other active ingredients for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions or localized effects.

This formulation is commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and warts. Salicylic Acid 17% Topical Solution functions by breaking down the keratin in the skin, which aids in reducing inflammation and irritation. It also helps to decrease the amount of oil produced by the skin, which can contribute to reducing the appearance of acne. Furthermore, it can help to reduce the thickness of the skin, which can assist in reducing the appearance of warts.

When using Salicylic Acid 17% Topical Solution, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The solution should be applied only to the affected area, avoiding contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. It is also important to refrain from using this medication on broken or irritated skin.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 17% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. This medication is primarily used to treat a range of dermatological conditions such as acne, psoriasis, warts, and seborrheic dermatitis. It functions by exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells, and reducing inflammation. Additionally, it aids in decreasing the production of sebum, a substance that can clog pores and contribute to acne.

The solution can be applied directly to the affected area or used as a spot treatment. For spot treatment, it should be applied to the affected area once or twice daily. When used as a full-body treatment, it should be applied to the entire affected area once or twice a day. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication.

Generally, Salicylic Acid 17% Topical Solution is well tolerated. However, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If these side effects occur, it is recommended to discontinue the use of the medication and consult your healthcare provider. It is also advised to avoid applying this medication on broken or irritated skin as it may exacerbate the irritation.

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.
