Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Coal Tar Topical Solution 5%/Salicylic Acid 3%/Fluocinonide 0.05% Topical Lotion is specifically designed for the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema. The active ingredients in this formulation each play a crucial role in managing these conditions. Coal tar, an anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agent, helps to reduce inflammation and itching. Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in the removal of scales. Fluocinonide, a potent corticosteroid, further reduces inflammation and suppresses immune responses.

When used in combination, these ingredients can effectively alleviate the symptoms associated with these skin conditions. However, it is important to note that this formulation should not be applied to the face, groin, or axillae, as it may cause irritation. Patients are advised to apply a thin layer of the lotion to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, it should be rinsed off with water immediately.

Patients should also exercise caution when using this formulation in conjunction with other topical medications, as there may be an increased risk of irritation or sensitization. Furthermore, due to the potential for increased skin sensitivity to sunlight caused by this formulation, patients are advised to use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposed to the sun.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information. It is always important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and to report any adverse effects or unexpected reactions immediately.

How Does it Work

This Coal Tar Topical Solution 5%/Salicylic Acid 3%/Fluocinonide 0.05% Topical Lotion is a specially compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines the therapeutic properties of three active ingredients: coal tar, salicylic acid, and fluocinonide.

Coal tar, a potent antifungal and anti-inflammatory agent, works to alleviate symptoms such as itching, scaling, and redness associated with skin conditions. Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in reducing the thickness of the skin's outer layer, thereby facilitating deeper penetration of the active ingredients. Fluocinonide, a type of corticosteroid, is instrumental in reducing inflammation and itching, providing relief from discomfort.

When applied to the affected area, this topical lotion works to alleviate symptoms associated with a range of skin conditions, including but not limited to psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. It is also effective in treating acne, warts, and other skin conditions that may benefit from its active ingredients.

To use this formulation, apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently massage the lotion into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider, it is not necessary to cover the treated area with a bandage or other covering.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are committed to helping you find the most effective treatment for your skin condition.
