Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our compounded formulation of Aluminum Hydroxide 64 mg/ml Oral Suspension. This liquid dosage form, in which one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium, provides a homogeneous mixture for administration. It is designed to effectively treat a variety of disease states.

Aluminum Hydroxide 64 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a potent treatment for conditions such as acid reflux, heartburn, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It functions by neutralizing stomach acid, thereby providing relief from the discomfort and pain associated with these conditions.

Furthermore, Aluminum Hydroxide 64 mg/ml Oral Suspension can be utilized in the treatment of peptic ulcers. These are conditions where the lining of the stomach or small intestine is damaged.

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.
