This formulation provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of medication or therapeutic agents for localized treatment. It is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.

However, it is important to note that this formulation should not be used on broken or irritated skin.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfur 5%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that combines two potent active ingredients, sulfur and salicylic acid, to effectively treat a range of skin conditions. This ointment is dispensed in a tube and is designed for external application to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the medication, ensuring localized treatment.

Sulfur serves as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent, helping to alleviate redness, swelling, and itching associated with various skin conditions.

Upon application to the affected area, the ointment works to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching. It also aids in the reduction of dead skin cell buildup, which can help to lessen the severity of the skin condition. The ointment should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to remember that this ointment should not be used on broken or irritated skin, and should be avoided on the face or near the eyes. If any irritation or discomfort is experienced while using this ointment, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

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.
