Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our compounded formulation of Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Erythromycin 3% Topical Gel. This unique formulation is specifically designed to combat mild to moderate acne vulgaris, a prevalent skin condition marked by comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules. The dual-action of benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin in this formulation works synergistically to decrease the number of acne lesions, alleviate inflammation, and minimize the potential for bacterial resistance.

Benzoyl peroxide, a keratolytic agent, functions by exfoliating the skin and reducing the number of comedones, thereby decreasing the number of acne lesions. On the other hand, erythromycin, an antibiotic, works to alleviate inflammation and minimize the risk of bacterial resistance. This dual-action makes this formulation a potent weapon against acne vulgaris.

This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment. The gel-like consistency allows for optimal absorption of the active ingredients, ensuring maximum efficacy.

Our Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Erythromycin 3% Topical Gel is safe and effective for use in adults and adolescents over the age of 12. It is recommended to apply this formulation to the affected area twice daily. However, patients should be monitored for signs of irritation or sensitivity to ensure the treatment is well-tolerated.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is always ready to assist you with your healthcare needs.
