Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to offer a specially compounded topical suspension of Erythromycin 2%/Clindamycin 1%. This unique formulation is designed to address a range of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and bacterial skin infections. The dual-action of these two potent antibiotics works synergistically to reduce inflammation and eliminate bacteria that can lead to infection.

Erythromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that functions by inhibiting bacterial growth. It is particularly effective against Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne.

The combination of these two antibiotics in our topical suspension formulation provides a powerful tool in the fight against skin conditions. The liquid formulation, containing solid particles dispersed in a liquid medium, is specifically designed for topical application. It offers a smooth and easy-to-spread consistency, ensuring uniform distribution of the active ingredients on the skin surface for effective therapy and improved skin health.
