How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cholestyramine 5%/Zinc Oxide 5% Topical Gel is a specially formulated combination of two active ingredients designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. Cholestyramine, an anion exchange resin, works by binding bile acids in the intestine, thereby reducing their absorption and increasing their excretion. On the other hand, Zinc Oxide is an inorganic compound known for its antiseptic, astringent, and anti-inflammatory properties. Together, these two ingredients synergistically work to alleviate inflammation, itching, and irritation associated with various skin conditions.

When applied topically, Cholestyramine 5%/Zinc Oxide 5% Topical Gel can effectively reduce the symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It is also beneficial in treating skin infections, rashes, and other skin irritations. The gel is designed to be applied directly to the affected area two to three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare provider, ensuring targeted treatment and absorption of the active ingredients.

Cholestyramine 5%/Zinc Oxide 5% Topical Gel is generally well tolerated by most individuals. However, some people may experience mild skin irritation or itching as side effects.

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.
