Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Capsaicin 0.01% Oral Rinse is a specially compounded medication designed to alleviate a range of oral conditions. This therapeutic liquid solution is primarily used for the treatment of oral mucositis, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. It is formulated with capsaicin, a natural compound extracted from chili peppers, known for its potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

The mechanism of action of capsaicin involves the inhibition of substance P, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in transmitting pain signals to the brain. By blocking this neurotransmitter, capsaicin effectively reduces pain and inflammation associated with various oral conditions.

Using Capsaicin 0.01% Oral Rinse is straightforward and can be done at home. The recommended usage involves swishing the solution in the mouth for about 30 seconds, twice a day. It's worth noting that initial use may cause a mild burning sensation, which is a normal reaction and should diminish after a few days of consistent use.

If you have any queries about Capsaicin 0.01% Oral Rinse or wish to understand more about its potential benefits for your specific condition, please feel free to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of experienced compounding pharmacists is always ready to assist and provide the necessary information.

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.
