USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS


Pregnancy Category C – Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with benzoyl peroxide. It is also not known whether benzoyl peroxide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Benzoyl peroxide should be used by a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. There are no available data on the effect of benzoyl peroxide on the later growth, development, and functional maturation of the unborn child.


Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when benzoyl peroxide is administered to a nursing woman.


Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in children below the age of 12 have not been established.



Overdosage


If excessive scaling, erythema or edema occurs, the use of these preparations should be discontinued. To hasten resolution of the adverse effects, cool compresses may be used. After symptoms and signs subside, a reduced dosage schedule may be cautiously tried if the reaction is judged to be due to excessive use and not allergenicity.



BP Wash Description


BP 7% Wash is a topical preparation containing benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient for use in the treatment of acne vulgais. Each mL of BP 7% Wash contains 70mg of benzoyl peroxide in an emulsion base consisting of: Aloe Barbedensis Leaf Extract, Carbomer, Cetyl Alcohol, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycerin, Camellia Oleifera Leaf (Green Tea) Extract, Octoxynol-13, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Propylene Glycol, Purified Water, PPG-14 Palmeth-60 Hexyl Dicarbamate, Xanthan Gum, Allantoin, Benzyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Panthenol, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Triethanolamine.


Benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizing agent that possesses antibacterial properties and is classified as a keratolytic.



CLINCIAL PHARMACOLOGY


The exact mechanism of action of benzoyl peroxide in acne vulgaris is not known. Benzoyl peroxide is an antibacterial agent with demonstrated activity against Propionibacterium acnes. This action, combined with the mild keratolytic effect of benzoyl peroxide is absorbed by the skin where it is metabolized to benzoic acid and excreted as benzoate in the urine. There is no evidence of systemic toxicity in humans caused by benzoyl peroxide.



Nonclinical Toxicology


Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility


Based upon all available evidence, benzoyl peroxide is not considered to be a carcinogen. However, data from a study using mice known to be highly susceptible to cancer suggest that benzoyl peroxide acts as a tumor promoter. The clinical significance of the findings is not known. Benzoyl peroxide has not been found to be mutagenic (Ames Test). There are no published data indicating impairment of fertility.
