A small arrow pointing down

Calcium L-5 Methyltetrahydrofolate 10 mg Capsules are a specialized dietary supplement designed to address a range of health conditions such as anemia, osteoporosis, and certain neurological disorders. The key active ingredient in this formulation is L-5 Methyltetrahydrofolate, a variant of folate that is more readily absorbed by the body compared to other forms.

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.
