Similarly, medications that can cause an allergic reaction, such as penicillins, cephalosporins, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), should be avoided.

Patients should also avoid using Sulfur 4% Topical Gel if they are taking any medications that can cause an increase in skin sensitivity, such as topical antibiotics, antifungals, or antiseptics. Medications that can cause an increase in skin dryness, such as retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, should also be avoided.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfur 4% Topical Gel is a specialized medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application directly onto the skin. The active ingredient, sulfur, works by reducing inflammation and eliminating bacteria that can lead to skin infections.

The gel should be applied twice daily, ideally in the morning and evening, directly to the affected skin area. Prior to application, it is recommended to cleanse the area thoroughly. It is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying the gel. Additionally, while using this medication, it is advised to limit sun exposure as the gel can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun's rays.

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.
