How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dexamethasone 0.1%/Erythromycin 3% Dental Gel is a specially formulated topical medication designed to address a range of oral health conditions. This unique gel-like formulation, dispensed in a tube, is specifically designed for oral use. It offers a smooth and easy-to-apply consistency, providing targeted relief and protection for oral conditions such as mouth ulcers, gum inflammation, or tooth sensitivity.

The dental gel is a combination of two active ingredients, dexamethasone and erythromycin. Dexamethasone is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that works to reduce inflammation and swelling in the oral cavity. Erythromycin, on the other hand, is a powerful antibiotic that fights against bacteria, helping to prevent and treat bacterial infections in the mouth.

When applied directly to the affected areas, Dexamethasone 0.1%/Erythromycin 3% Dental Gel delivers medication directly to the site of discomfort or infection, providing localized treatment and promoting improved oral health. It is typically recommended for use twice a day, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, the area should be thoroughly rinsed with water.

It can also be used to treat infections caused by bacteria, such as streptococcus and staphylococcus. As with any medication, it is important to use this product as directed by your healthcare provider and to reach out to them with any questions or concerns regarding its use.

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.
