What are Topical drugs?
Topical drugs are products intended for administration to a particular spot on the outer surface of the body. Healthcare teams may also search this route as topical medications, externally applied drugs, creams, ointments, and gels, and surface-applied therapy. This category is most relevant for dermatology, wound care, outpatient, and pharmacy procurement for creams, ointments, gels, solutions, films, and other surface-applied products. Common product examples in this catalog include Acyclovir, Adapalene, and Acoltremon. When sourcing topical medications, healthcare teams usually compare NDC, strength or concentration, dosage form, package configuration, and any route-specific storage or handling requirements.
