Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 1% Lip Balm is a specially compounded semi-solid formulation, designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as cold sores, herpes, and other viral infections. This unique formulation is dispensed in a chapstick container, allowing for a convenient and precise application directly to the lips. It is specifically designed for localized treatment, providing targeted lip care.

The formulation combines the antiviral medication, Acyclovir, and the topical anesthetic, Lidocaine. Acyclovir works by inhibiting the multiplication of the virus, thereby reducing the severity of the outbreak. Lidocaine, on the other hand, helps to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with these conditions by numbing the affected area. The combination of these two active ingredients results in a potent treatment for these skin conditions.

It is crucial to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. The Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 1% Lip Balm should not be applied to open wounds or areas of broken skin. Misuse or overuse can lead to unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness. Always ensure to follow the prescribed dosage and frequency to achieve the best results.

Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 1% Lip Balm is a testament to the effectiveness of compounded medications in providing targeted and personalized treatment for various skin conditions. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and support to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
