Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Amlodipine 0.625 mg/0.2 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is a specially compounded medication, designed to treat a range of cardiovascular diseases in animals. These diseases include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, angina, and atherosclerosis. The cream is a semisolid preparation, dispensed via a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application directly onto the skin of the affected area. This method of application allows for a more localized treatment and absorption of the active ingredient, amlodipine.

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that functions by inhibiting the influx of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This action results in a decrease in blood pressure and improved blood flow. The topical application of this formulation is particularly beneficial for treating hypertension, as it allows for a more localized effect. Furthermore, it can be used to treat hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, angina, and atherosclerosis, as it aids in reducing the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should only be used under the guidance of a veterinary healthcare professional. This is due to the potential for interactions with other medications and the possibility of side effects. If you have any queries regarding this formulation or its application, please consult with a veterinary healthcare professional.

Patients should be closely monitored for any potential adverse reactions, which may include dizziness, headache, nausea, and fatigue. If any of these symptoms occur, it is crucial to contact a healthcare provider immediately. It's also important to note that this medication may interact with other medications, such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta blockers. Therefore, it is essential to discuss all medications with a healthcare provider before starting this treatment.

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.
