How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Zinc Sulfate 20% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation designed for targeted treatment of various skin conditions. It is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredient, zinc sulfate, is absorbed effectively into the skin.

This topical medication is primarily used to treat conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Zinc sulfate, the active ingredient, is an anti-inflammatory agent that works to reduce redness, itching, and swelling associated with these skin conditions. Additionally, it helps to control the production of excess oil, which can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts.

To use Zinc Sulfate 20% Topical Gel, apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. The gel should be gently massaged into the skin until it is completely absorbed. It is important to avoid applying the gel to broken or irritated skin. After each application, hands should be washed thoroughly.

While Zinc Sulfate 20% Topical Gel is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or dryness. If these side effects occur, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult with your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns about Zinc Sulfate 20% Topical Gel or its application, do not hesitate to reach out.

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.
