Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

The Bayview Pharmacy team of compounding pharmacists is pleased to present a compounded formulation of tretinoin 1 mg/clobetasol propionate 0.5 mg troche. This unique formulation is designed to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne vulgaris, psoriasis, lichen planus, alopecia areata, and seborrheic dermatitis. The troche is a square-shaped solid dosage form that dissolves slowly in the mouth, delivering the medication through oral mucosa absorption for targeted local or systemic effects.

Tretinoin, a retinoid, works by reducing inflammation and promoting cell turnover, while clobetasol propionate, a potent topical corticosteroid, helps to alleviate inflammation and itching. The combined action of these two medications effectively reduces the symptoms associated with these skin conditions. It is crucial for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions when using this medication. Additionally, the use of sunscreen and limiting sun exposure is recommended as this medication can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.

However, it is important to consider the potential side effects of this medication, which may include skin irritation, burning, and dryness. Regular monitoring of patients for signs of systemic absorption is also crucial, as this medication can be absorbed through the skin.

If you have any questions about this compounded formulation of tretinoin 1 mg/clobetasol propionate 0.5 mg troche or its use in treating skin conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to provide the necessary support and guidance.

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.
