Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion is a specialized topical formulation designed for the treatment of various skin conditions. This liquid formulation is intended for external application to the skin, providing a convenient and versatile means of delivering medication, therapeutic agents, or other active ingredients for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions or localized effects.

The formulation combines salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent known for its ability to break down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure, and flexible collodion, a film-forming agent that helps to seal the medication on the skin.

In the treatment of psoriasis, salicylic acid works to reduce the redness, scaling, and itching associated with the condition. For seborrheic dermatitis, salicylic acid helps to alleviate inflammation and flaking of the skin. When used for acne treatment, salicylic acid aids in reducing inflammation and redness. In the case of corns and calluses, salicylic acid works to soften and remove the thickened, scaly skin.

Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion is a appropriate treatment option for these skin conditions when used as directed. It is crucial to follow the directions on the label and to use the medication as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.

Drug Interactions

Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion is a potent topical solution designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, corns, and calluses. Its primary function is to exfoliate the skin, aiding in the reduction of dead skin cell buildup and inflammation. This can also help to diminish the appearance of redness and irritation associated with these conditions.

The solution should be applied directly to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Additionally, this product should not be used on broken or irritated skin.

It's important to be aware that Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion may cause skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation. If these side effects occur, discontinue use immediately and consult with your healthcare provider. Furthermore, this product may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, making it essential to use a sunscreen when using this product.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and advice to ensure safe and appropriate use of this product.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion is a liquid formulation designed for topical application to the skin. It is primarily used to treat a range of dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, corns, and calluses. The medication works by exfoliating the skin, reducing inflammation, and helping to unclog pores, providing targeted treatment to the affected areas.

Before applying this medication, it is crucial to clean and dry the affected area. A thin layer of the medication should then be gently rubbed into the skin. Allow the medication to dry completely before covering the area with clothing or a bandage. This medication should not be used more than twice a day, and should not be used for more than four weeks. It is also important to note that this medication should not be used on broken or irritated skin, and should not be used on the face or around the eyes.

Patients should be aware that Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion may cause skin irritation, redness, or burning. If these side effects occur, usage of the medication should be discontinued and the patient should contact their healthcare provider. Additionally, this medication may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, so it is recommended to use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this medication.

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.
