How Does it Work

This formulation is designed to ensure that the active ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout the liquid medium, providing a homogeneous mixture for administration.

The medication works by inhibiting the growth of parasites within the body.

For amebiasis, the medication works by directly killing the parasites in the intestines. In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Chloroquine Phosphate reduces inflammation and pain, providing relief to the patient.

Chloroquine Phosphate 16.7 mg/ml Oral Suspension is typically taken orally, once or twice daily as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

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.
