Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream that incorporates Pentoxifylline 5%, Rifampin 2%, Clindamycin 1%, and Glycolic Acid. This unique formulation is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and eczema.

Pentoxifylline is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that effectively reduces redness and swelling associated with various skin conditions. Rifampin, an antibiotic, works to decrease the number of bacteria on the skin. Clindamycin, another antibiotic, not only reduces the bacterial count on the skin but also aids in reducing inflammation. Glycolic Acid serves as an exfoliant, aiding in the removal of dead skin cells and fostering the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

This synergistic blend of medications and exfoliant works together to reduce inflammation, decrease bacteria, and promote the growth of healthy skin cells. The result is a highly effective treatment for conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema.

The cream is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This allows for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients, ensuring that the medication is delivered precisely where it's needed.
