Compounded diaper rash creams and ointments are custom-made medications that are formulated to meet the specific needs of individual patients. These creams can contain a variety of ingredients, including cholestyramine, nystatin, mupirocin, miconazole, and zinc oxide.
Cholestyramine is a bile acid sequestrant that can help to treat diaper rash caused by bacterial overgrowth in the gut. Nystatin is an antifungal medication that is effective against a range of fungal infections, including those that can cause diaper rash. Mupirocin is an antibiotic that can help to prevent or treat bacterial infections, while miconazole is an antifungal medication that can help to treat fungal infections.
Zinc oxide is a commonly used ingredient in diaper rash creams and ointments. It is an effective barrier cream that can help to protect the skin from irritants and moisture. Zinc oxide can also have a soothing effect on the skin, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
In addition to these active pharmaceutical ingredients, we can compound diaper rash creams and ointments that can also contain a range of natural ingredients like cornstarch, aloe vera, Shea butter, Chamomile and Olive oil. Shea butter is a rich, nourishing ingredient that can help to moisturize and soothe the skin. Chamomile tea can have a calming effect on the skin, which can help to reduce inflammation and redness. Cornstarch can help to absorb moisture and keep the skin dry, while olive oil and aloe vera can help to moisturize and soothe the skin.
Overall, compounded diaper rash creams and ointments can be an effective way to treat diaper rash, especially when standard over-the-counter treatments are not effective. By customizing the formulation to meet the specific needs of the individual patient, compounded creams and ointments can provide targeted relief and promote healing. It is important to work with a qualified compounding pharmacy with years of experience like our pharmacy, to ensure that the cream or ointment is formulated correctly and is safe for use.
