How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Zinc Acetate 0.5%/Boric Acid 1% Topical Solution is a specially compounded liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. It combines the therapeutic benefits of two active ingredients, zinc acetate and boric acid, to provide targeted treatment for various dermatological conditions.

Zinc acetate, a potent anti-inflammatory agent, works to alleviate the redness, swelling, and itching often associated with skin conditions. It helps to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation, providing relief from discomfort. It works to reduce the presence of bacteria on the skin, thereby preventing infection and promoting a healthier skin environment.

Together, these ingredients form a powerful solution that can help manage symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. By reducing inflammation and bacterial presence, this topical solution aids in the healing process of the skin, promoting healthier and clearer skin over time.

To use, apply the solution to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the directions provided on the label and avoid applying more than the recommended amount. Overuse may lead to skin irritation or other unwanted side effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Zinc Acetate 0.5%/Boric Acid 1% Topical Solution, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and advice to ensure you are using the product safely and effectively.

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.
