Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Sulfacetamide Sodium 5%/Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.02% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines three active ingredients: sulfacetamide sodium, clindamycin, and tretinoin, each with its own distinct therapeutic properties.

Sulfacetamide sodium is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting bacterial growth, while clindamycin, another antibiotic, works similarly but targets specific types of bacteria. Tretinoin, a retinoid, contributes to the treatment by reducing inflammation and promoting the growth of new skin cells.

This topical cream is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. The formulation works by reducing inflammation, clearing up acne, and enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.

Safe for use in adults and children over the age of 12, this cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily. It is not recommended for use on broken or irritated skin. Patients are advised to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth, and should not use this formulation if they are allergic to any of the active ingredients.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat skin conditions, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the information and guidance you need.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfacetamide Sodium 5%/Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.02% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation specifically designed for the treatment of acne vulgaris, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. This semisolid preparation, dispensed in a pump mechanism, allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin, ensuring localized treatment and optimal absorption of active ingredients.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be applied on the face or other areas of the body that are sensitive to sunlight. This is due to the photosensitive nature of some of the active ingredients, which may cause skin irritation or other adverse reactions when exposed to sunlight.

Furthermore, this formulation should not be used in conjunction with other topical medications, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation or other adverse reactions. Patients are strongly advised to use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when using this formulation to minimize the risk of sunburn or other sun-related skin damage.

If any adverse reactions occur, such as redness, itching, burning, or peeling, patients should immediately discontinue use and contact their healthcare provider for further advice. It is always important to use this medication as directed by a healthcare professional, and to report any side effects or concerns promptly.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfacetamide Sodium 5%/Clindamycin 1%/Tretinoin 0.02% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed to address various skin conditions. This unique blend combines the antibacterial properties of sulfacetamide sodium and clindamycin with the skin rejuvenating benefits of tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A.

The cream is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures that the active ingredients are localized to the area of treatment, optimizing their absorption and effectiveness.

When using this medication, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided on the package insert or as directed by your healthcare provider. The cream should be applied to the affected skin area once or twice daily, depending on the advice of your doctor. Always remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream to prevent the spread of bacteria. Avoid applying the cream on broken or irritated skin as it may cause further irritation.

For the best results, it is recommended to use this medication for the full course of treatment. Discontinuing the medication prematurely, even if symptoms seem to improve, may result in the return of the condition. If you have any queries or concerns about using this medication, do not hesitate to consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
