Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 2%/Niacinamide 5% Topical Cream is a specially compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various skin conditions such as acne vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. This semisolid preparation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring a convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

The active ingredients in this formulation, Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide, work synergistically to manage these skin conditions. Salicylic Acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in reducing the appearance of acne by exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores. On the other hand, Niacinamide, an anti-inflammatory agent, helps to reduce redness and irritation associated with these skin conditions.

When using this formulation, it is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. It is also recommended to use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 when using this product to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Patients should also avoid using other topical products containing salicylic acid or niacinamide, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.

Patients should discontinue use if they experience any signs of irritation or sensitivity, such as redness, itching, burning, or stinging. If these symptoms persist, it is advised to seek medical advice. This formulation is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12 due to the potency of the active ingredients.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information. It is always important to use this product as directed and to consult with a healthcare professional if any issues arise.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 2%/Niacinamide 5% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique combination of active ingredients, salicylic acid and niacinamide, work synergistically to alleviate inflammation, reduce redness, and minimize the visibility of acne.

Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, facilitates the breakdown of the skin's outer layer. This action aids in the easy removal of dead skin cells and debris, promoting a clearer and healthier skin surface. On the other hand, niacinamide, an anti-inflammatory compound, helps to mitigate redness and inflammation often associated with acne, contributing to a more even skin tone.

Its therapeutic properties can help diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion.

When using Salicylic Acid 2%/Niacinamide 5% Topical Cream, it is crucial to adhere to the directions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily, taking care to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. It is also advised not to use this medication on broken or irritated skin to prevent any potential adverse reactions.

If you have any queries or concerns about using Salicylic Acid 2%/Niacinamide 5% Topical Cream, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to assisting you in finding the most suitable treatment for your skin condition.

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.
