This unique formulation combines three active ingredients, each with a specific role in skin health. Sulfacetamide, an antibacterial agent, works to reduce the presence of bacteria on the skin. Sulfur, a natural element known for its anti-inflammatory properties, aids in reducing inflammation. Lastly, salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, assists in exfoliating the skin, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and the renewal of the skin's surface.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. The semisolid formulation ensures targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. Depending on the severity of the condition, it can be used as a spot treatment or applied to the entire face. However, it is crucial to avoid applying this formulation on broken or irritated skin as it may exacerbate irritation.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
