How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Tretinoin 5% Topical Peel Cream is a specially compounded liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. This versatile medication is primarily used for the targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions such as acne, wrinkles, and sun damage. The active ingredient, Tretinoin, works by promoting cell turnover, which aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production, which can help diminish the signs of sun damage.

The application of Tretinoin 5% Topical Peel Cream should be limited to the affected area, ideally once daily, preferably during the night. It is crucial to note that this medication can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, hence the necessity of using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 during the day. It is also advisable to avoid applying other topical medications or products on the same area where Tretinoin 5% Topical Peel Cream is used, as this may lead to skin irritation.

Furthermore, this medication should not be applied on broken or irritated skin. Patience is key when using Tretinoin 5% Topical Peel Cream, as it may take several weeks to observe the full effects of this medication. Consistent use as prescribed is essential for optimal results. If you have any queries or concerns regarding the use of Tretinoin 5% Topical Peel Cream, please do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance.

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.
