Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfur 5%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Suspension is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, and folliculitis. This unique formulation combines two potent active ingredients, sulfur and salicylic acid, to provide targeted treatment for various skin conditions.

The sulfur component in the formulation works to alleviate inflammation and redness. On the other hand, the salicylic acid component plays a crucial role in reducing oil production and exfoliating the skin, which can help manage conditions like acne and seborrheic dermatitis.

This combination of ingredients in the Sulfur 5%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Suspension ensures a comprehensive approach to skin health, addressing not only the visible symptoms such as redness, itching, and flaking, but also the underlying causes of these conditions. The formulation is designed as a liquid suspension containing solid particles, which allows for a smooth and easy-to-spread consistency. This ensures a uniform distribution of the active ingredients on the skin surface.

It is important to note that this formulation should not be used on broken or irritated skin. As with all medications, it should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Remember, your health and well-being are our top priority.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sulfur 5%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Suspension is a potent formulation that combines the therapeutic benefits of two active ingredients, Sulfur and Salicylic Acid, to effectively treat a range of skin conditions. Sulfur, known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, aids in reducing redness and swelling. Salicylic Acid, a keratolytic agent, assists in exfoliating the skin and reducing the buildup of dead skin cells.

In the case of Acne, the formulation works by reducing inflammation, unclogging pores, and minimizing the buildup of dead skin cells, thereby reducing the appearance of acne and preventing future breakouts.

For Seborrheic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Rosacea, and Folliculitis, the Sulfur and Salicylic Acid combination works to alleviate inflammation and reduce the buildup of dead skin cells. This dual-action approach helps to lessen the appearance of these conditions and prevent future flare-ups.

Sulfur 5%/Salicylic Acid 2% Topical Suspension is designed for topical application. It should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. The formulation offers a smooth and easy-to-spread consistency.

If you have any questions about how to use this formulation, please consult with your healthcare provider. It's important to use this product as directed to ensure optimal results and maintain skin health.

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.
