Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our unique topical gel formulation of Phenytoin 5%/Misoprostol 0.0024%/Nifedipine 2%. This innovative compound is specifically designed to address a range of disease states, including inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis, as well as other skin conditions like acne and rosacea.

The active ingredients in this formulation each play a crucial role in managing skin conditions. Phenytoin, an anticonvulsant, works to alleviate inflammation and itching associated with various skin conditions. Misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog, also helps to reduce inflammation and itching, while also minimizing the risk of infection. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, further aids in reducing inflammation and itching, and also contributes to lowering the risk of infection.

This topical gel formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients. The gel-like consistency ensures a smooth application process, allowing for daily use as part of your skincare routine. However, it is crucial to avoid applying this formulation on broken or irritated skin.

As with all medications, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this formulation. This will ensure the most effective treatment and minimize any potential side effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or how it can assist in treating 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 for your specific needs.

Drug Interactions

This compounded formulation of Phenytoin 5%/Misoprostol 0.0024%/Nifedipine 2% Topical Gel is a unique combination of medications designed for targeted treatment. Phenytoin, an anticonvulsant, is typically used to manage seizures, particularly in patients with epilepsy. It has been demonstrated to reduce both the frequency and severity of seizures, providing significant relief for patients.

Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analog, is commonly used to treat gastric ulcers, particularly in patients who are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It has been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of gastric ulcers, providing a protective effect on the stomach lining.

Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, is primarily used to manage hypertension. It has been shown to effectively reduce blood pressure, helping to manage this chronic condition and reduce the risk of associated complications.

The combination of these three medications in a topical gel form offers potential benefits. The gel formulation allows for easy and precise application, potentially improving the absorption of the active ingredients and facilitating a faster onset of action. This could enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and provide a more convenient delivery system for patients. Furthermore, the topical application may reduce the risk of systemic side effects that are often associated with oral administration of these medications.

However, it is crucial to note that this specific formulation of Phenytoin 5%/Misoprostol 0.0024%/Nifedipine 2% Topical Gel has not been studied in clinical trials. Therefore, its safety and efficacy have not been definitively established. Patients using this formulation should be closely monitored for any potential adverse reactions or interactions with other medications. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns about this treatment.
