Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Amitriptyline HCl 5 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is a specially compounded veterinary medication designed to treat a range of conditions such as pain, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, migraine, and anxiety in animals. This unique formulation is intended for topical application directly onto the skin of the affected area, providing a localized delivery of the medication. This method of application allows for targeted relief, reducing pain and inflammation, and alleviating the symptoms associated with neuropathy, fibromyalgia, migraine, and anxiety.

The active ingredient in this formulation, Amitriptyline HCl, is a tricyclic antidepressant. It functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that play a crucial role in mood and pain regulation. By blocking the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, Amitriptyline HCl effectively reduces pain and inflammation, and provides relief from the symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed in a localized area, providing targeted treatment and relief. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

It is important to note that this formulation is specifically intended for veterinary use and should not be used in humans. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat pain, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, migraine, and anxiety in animals, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the necessary guidance and support.

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.
