This is a compounded topical lotion that delivers metformin to the skin rather than by mouth. A prescriber may choose a topical preparation as part of a specific skin care plan. The prescription specifies the strength, base, and how to apply it.
Apply to the affected area exactly as written on the prescription. The active ingredient, strength, base, quantity, and directions are set by the prescriber.
