Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Spironolactone 1% Topical Solution is a specially compounded liquid formulation designed for direct application to the skin. This versatile medication is primarily used for the targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and rosacea. The active ingredient, Spironolactone, works by inhibiting the production of sebum, an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands. Excessive sebum can clog pores and contribute to the development of acne.

In addition to its sebum-regulating properties, Spironolactone also possesses anti-inflammatory characteristics. These properties can help alleviate the redness and irritation often associated with skin conditions like acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and rosacea. This makes Spironolactone 1% Topical Solution a comprehensive treatment option for these skin conditions.

As with any medication, it is crucial to use Spironolactone 1% Topical Solution as directed by your healthcare provider. If these or any other side effects persist or worsen, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

However, it is essential to follow your healthcare provider's instructions when using this medication. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Spironolactone 1% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. It is primarily used to treat a range of dermatological conditions such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and rosacea. The medication functions by inhibiting the production of androgens, hormones that can lead to oily and inflamed skin. The solution is typically applied directly to the affected skin area once or twice daily. However, it is crucial to avoid using this solution on broken or irritated skin.

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.
