How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Capsaicin 0.25 mg Troche is a specialized compounded formulation designed to provide relief from chronic pain conditions such as Trigeminal Neuralgia, Postherpetic Neuralgia, Diabetic Neuropathy, Osteoarthritis, and Fibromyalgia. The active ingredient, capsaicin, is a natural compound derived from chili peppers. It functions by desensitizing nerve endings, thereby reducing the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

This medication is presented in a troche form, a square-shaped solid dosage that is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. This method of administration allows for the medication to be absorbed through the oral mucosa, providing targeted local or systemic effects. The slow dissolution of the troche allows for a more sustained release of capsaicin, enhancing its therapeutic effects.

When using Capsaicin 0.25 mg Troche, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The troche should be placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly, typically over a period of 15-30 minutes. To ensure optimal absorption, avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication. It is normal to experience a burning sensation in the mouth and throat, which should subside after a few minutes.

While Capsaicin 0.25 mg Troche is generally well tolerated, some patients may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If any of these side effects occur, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately. Additionally, care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or other mucous membranes when using this medication.

If you have any questions or concerns about using this medication, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further guidance.

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.
