Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Amlodipine 10 mg Troche is a specially compounded medication, designed to treat a range of conditions including hypertension, angina, coronary artery disease, and Raynaud's phenomenon. As a calcium channel blocker, it functions by relaxing the muscles of the blood vessels, enabling them to expand and subsequently reduce blood pressure. This mechanism aids in alleviating symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions, such as the cold and numb sensation in fingers and toes caused by reduced blood flow in Raynaud's phenomenon.

This medication comes in the form of a square-shaped solid dosage, designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. The medication is delivered through absorption via the oral mucosa, allowing for targeted local or systemic effects. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider, as the full effects of the medication may take up to two weeks to manifest.

Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential while on this medication to ensure its effectiveness and to adjust dosages if necessary. If you have any queries or concerns regarding Amlodipine 10 mg Troche or any other compounded medications, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to assist you.

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.
