Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical cream that contains pentoxifylline 5%, tacrolimus 0.1%, and ketotifen 0.05%. This unique formulation is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis.

Pentoxifylline is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that effectively reduces redness, itching, and swelling associated with various skin conditions. It works by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation, thereby alleviating the discomfort associated with these conditions.

Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant, plays a crucial role in this formulation. It helps to reduce inflammation and prevents the body's immune system from attacking its own skin cells. This action is particularly beneficial in conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, where the immune system mistakenly targets healthy skin cells, causing inflammation and other symptoms.

Ketotifen, an antihistamine, is included in this formulation for its ability to reduce itching and inflammation. It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. This action can provide significant relief from itching and inflammation associated with various skin conditions.

This combination of pentoxifylline, tacrolimus, and ketotifen in a topical cream form offers a comprehensive approach to managing skin conditions. It not only reduces the symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling but also minimizes the risk of infection and prevents the body from attacking its own skin cells. The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

If you have any queries about this compounded formulation or how it can assist in managing your skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment option tailored to your individual needs.

Pentoxifylline 5%/Tacrolimus 0.1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. This semisolid preparation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring a convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

The formulation combines the therapeutic benefits of three active ingredients: Pentoxifylline, Tacrolimus, and Ketotifen. Pentoxifylline is an anti-inflammatory agent that functions by reducing the production of inflammatory mediators like cytokines and leukotrienes. This helps to alleviate inflammation and swelling associated with skin conditions.

Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant, works by inhibiting the production of T-cells, which are primarily responsible for the inflammatory response in the body. By suppressing the activity of these cells, Tacrolimus aids in reducing inflammation and redness associated with skin disorders.

Ketotifen, an antihistamine, functions by blocking the action of histamine, a compound in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. By inhibiting histamine, Ketotifen helps to reduce itching and swelling associated with inflammatory skin conditions.

This combination of Pentoxifylline, Tacrolimus, and Ketotifen has been demonstrated to effectively reduce the symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions, including itching, redness, and swelling. For any queries or further information about this formulation, please feel free to reach out.
