Acyclovir 5%/Lidocaine 2%/Egcg 0.2% Lip Ointment is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various viral skin conditions such as Herpes Simplex, Cold Sores, Genital Herpes, Shingles, and Warts. This semi-solid formulation is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin. It provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the therapeutic agents for localized treatment.

The formulation contains Acyclovir, an antiviral medication that works by inhibiting the multiplication of the virus, thereby reducing the severity and frequency of outbreaks.

Together, these three active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate the symptoms of the virus, including pain, itching, and inflammation.

It is important to understand that while this formulation helps to manage and reduce the symptoms of these viral conditions, it does not cure the virus itself. Always consult with a healthcare professional for advice on the appropriate use of this formulation and for any questions or concerns regarding your condition.

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.
