Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfur 2% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation that may interact with various medications, both oral and topical. It is crucial for patients to inform their healthcare provider about all medications they are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Additionally, patients should disclose any known allergies to sulfur or other ingredients in the gel. If allergic to sulfur or any other component in the gel, patients should refrain from using Sulfur 2% Topical Gel.

Interactions may occur with other topical medications, including those containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or other sulfur-containing products. Concurrent use of these products may lead to skin irritation or other adverse reactions. Certain antibiotics such as tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and quinolones may also interact with Sulfur 2% Topical Gel, increasing the risk of skin irritation or other adverse reactions.

Antifungal medications like ketoconazole and itraconazole, anti-inflammatory drugs including corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antiseptic medications like chlorhexidine and triclosan, antacids such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, diuretics including thiazide diuretics and loop diuretics, anticoagulants like warfarin and heparin, immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, and hormones including estrogens and progestins may also interact with Sulfur 2% Topical Gel. Concurrent use of these medications may increase the risk of skin irritation or other adverse reactions.

If you have any questions about the interactions of Sulfur 2% Topical Gel with other medications, please consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfur 2% Topical Gel is a specialized medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions, such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. It functions by reducing inflammation and eliminating bacteria that can lead to skin infections. The sulfur component in the gel aids in decreasing the oil production by the skin, which can significantly alleviate the severity of acne. Additionally, it helps to mitigate the itching and flaking associated with seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.

This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients. To use Sulfur 2% Topical Gel, apply a thin layer to the affected skin area twice daily. Gently massage the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Avoid applying the gel to broken or irritated skin and remember to wash your hands after application.

While Sulfur 2% Topical Gel is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience skin irritation or dryness. If you encounter any of these side effects, discontinue using the gel and consult your doctor. If you have any queries about using Sulfur 2% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out.

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.
