Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Spironolactone 3% Topical Lotion is a specially compounded formulation designed for external application to the skin. This medication is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, hyperandrogenism, and hirsutism. It is a liquid or semi-liquid formulation that provides a smooth and spreadable consistency, offering moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions.

The active ingredient, Spironolactone, works by blocking the effects of androgens, hormones that can cause excessive oil production and inflammation in the skin. By doing so, it helps to reduce the production of sebum, a substance that can clog pores and lead to acne. This promotes the absorption of the active ingredients for localized treatment, providing relief and improvement for various skin conditions.

For patients with acne, Spironolactone 3% Topical Lotion can help reduce inflammation and oil production, leading to fewer breakouts. For those with seborrheic dermatitis, it can help reduce redness, scaling, and itching. For those with rosacea, it can help reduce redness and inflammation. For those with hyperandrogenism, it can help reduce excessive hair growth and acne. For those with hirsutism, it can help reduce excessive hair growth.

Spironolactone 3% Topical Lotion is a appropriate treatment for these skin conditions. However, it is important to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider when using this medication. If you have any questions about using Spironolactone 3% Topical Lotion, please reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
