benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical


Generic Name: benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical (BEN zoe ill per OX ide and SULL fur)

Brand names: NuOx, Sulfoxyl Regular, Sulfoxyl Strong, BPS


What is benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical?

Benzoyl peroxide has an antibacterial effect. It also has a mild drying effect that decreases oiliness of the skin.


When sulfur is applied topically, it causes drying and peeling of the skin. This allows excess oils and dirt to be easily washed away.


Benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical is used to treat acne.


Benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical?


Do not use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin or on an open wound.

Avoid abrasive, harsh, or drying soaps and cleansers while using benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical.


Avoid contact with clothing and hair. Benzoyl peroxide may cause bleaching.


Avoid combining PABA-containing sunscreens and benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical. Temporary skin discoloration may occur if they are used together.


Who should not use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical?


Do not use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin. It could make these conditions much worse. Also avoid using benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical in wounds or on areas of eczema. Wait until these conditions have healed before using this medication.

Do not use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical during treatment with tretinoin (Retin-A). The combination could lead to severe skin irritation.


It is not known whether benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical will harm an unborn baby. Do not use this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. It is also not known whether benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical passes into breast milk. Do not use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical?


Use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical exactly as directed by your doctor, or follow the instructions that accompany the package. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.


Wash your hands before and after applying this medication.


Clean and dry the area of skin where you will apply benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical. Apply the medication to the affected area. When applying benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical, avoid your eyes, the inside of your nose and mouth, your lips, and areas where the skin is broken to prevent excessive irritation. If you get medication in any of these areas, rinse it off with water. Do not cover the affected area after applying benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical. Doing so could cause too much medicine to be absorbed by your body and could be harmful. It may take several weeks or more to see the effects of this drug. Do not stop using benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical if you do not see results immediately.

Apply benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical less often if you experience excessive burning, dryness, or irritation.


Store benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical at room temperature away from moisture and heat.


What happens if I miss a dose?


Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and apply only your next regularly scheduled dose.


What happens if I overdose?


An overdose of benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical is unlikely to occur. If you do suspect an overdose, or if benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical has been ingested, call a poison control center or an emergency room for advice.

What should I avoid while using benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical?


Do not use benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin or on open wounds.

Avoid using other topical products on the same area at the same time unless directed to do so by your doctor. They may interfere with the effects or absorption of benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical.


Do not cover the area after applying benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical. Doing so could cause too much medicine to be absorbed by your body and could be harmful.

Avoid using harsh, abrasive, or irritating cleansers, perfumes, or cosmetics on the area you are treating.


Avoid contact with clothing and hair. Benzoyl peroxide may cause bleaching.


Avoid combining PABA-containing sunscreens and benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical. Temporary skin discoloration may occur if they are used together.


Benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical side effects

You may experience some burning, stinging, tingling, itching, redness, dryness, peeling, or irritation while you are using benzoyl peroxide topical. If these side effects are excessive, apply benzoyl peroxide and sulfur topical less often.


Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.


Before using this medication, clean and dry your ear canal with sterile cotton.


Shake the ear drops well just before you measure a dose.

This medication is usually given as 4 to 5 drops into the affected ear every 6 to 8 hours. Children may need to use fewer drops. Follow your doctor's instructions about how much medication you should use and how often.


Do not use this medication for longer than 10 days in a row unless your doctor tells you to. Long-term use of neomycin may cause damage to your hearing.

To use the ear drops, first remove the cap from the dropper bottle. Lie down or tilt your head with your ear facing upward. Pull back on your ear gently to open up the ear canal. If giving this medicine to a child, pull down on the earlobe to open the ear canal. Hold the dropper upside down over the ear canal and drop the correct number of drops into the ear.


Do not place the dropper tip into your ear or allow the tip to touch any surface. It may become contaminated.


After using the ear drops, stay lying down or with your head tilted for at least 5 minutes.


As an alternative to dropping the medicine into your ear, you may insert a small piece of cotton into the ear canal and then drop the medicine directly onto the cotton to soak it. Leave the cotton in the ear and keep it moist by adding more of the medication every 4 to 8 hours. Replace the cotton at least every 24 hours. Follow your doctor's instructions about the use of cotton with this medication.


Wipe the ear dropper tip with a clean tissue. Do not wash the tip with water or soap.


Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 1 week of using this medication.


Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
