Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Chlorpheniramine Maleate 1 mg/ml/Dextromethorphan HBr 3 mg/ml/Phenylephrine HCl 3.5 mg/ml Oral Syrup is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of health conditions. This formulation is a concentrated liquid that combines three active ingredients: Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Dextromethorphan HBr, and Phenylephrine HCl, each serving a unique therapeutic purpose.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of allergies, hay fever, and the common cold. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Dextromethorphan HBr is a cough suppressant that aids in the treatment of coughs associated with colds, bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses. It acts on the signals in the brain that trigger the cough reflex, thereby reducing the urge to cough. Phenylephrine HCl is a decongestant that helps to relieve nasal congestion due to allergies, colds, and sinus infections. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby reducing swelling and congestion.

This oral syrup formulation is designed for easy administration, especially for pediatric patients or those who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. The inclusion of sweeteners makes the medication more palatable, ensuring better patient compliance.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat your specific condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the necessary guidance and support.

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.
