How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical lotion is a compounded formulation of Benzocaine 0.5%, Menthol, and Phenol Compound, specifically designed for external application to the skin. It is a liquid or semi-liquid formulation that offers a smooth and spreadable consistency, making it easy to apply to the affected area.

The Phenol Compound serves as an antiseptic, reducing bacteria on the skin and thereby lowering the risk of infection.

When applied to the affected area, this lotion works to alleviate itching, inflammation, and pain. It should be applied directly to the affected area, and can be used up to four times a day. It is crucial to adhere to the directions on the label and not exceed the recommended dosage. If any irritation or redness occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.

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.
