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. It is also effective in addressing skin discoloration, wrinkles, and sun damage. 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.

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.

Scientific studies have demonstrated the efficacy of this formulation in reducing the number of inflammatory lesions, comedones, and erythema associated with these skin conditions. 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.
