Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dexamethasone 2%/Piroxicam 0.1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, acne, and rosacea. This unique formulation combines the potent anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic properties of two active ingredients, dexamethasone and piroxicam.

Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, works by reducing inflammation and itching, providing relief from the discomfort associated with these skin conditions. Piroxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), complements this by reducing pain and swelling. Together, these two ingredients form a powerful therapeutic combination, offering significant relief for patients suffering from these skin conditions.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin. Its gel-like consistency allows for targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

However, it is important to note that this medication should not be used on broken or infected skin. Caution is advised for patients with a history of allergies or asthma. Potential side effects may include skin irritation or dryness, and patients should be monitored for any adverse reactions.

However, it is crucial to monitor patients for any adverse reactions and use this medication with caution in patients with a history of allergies or asthma.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Dexamethasone 2%/Piroxicam 0.1% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed for targeted treatment of various skin conditions such as Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatitis, Acne, and Rosacea. This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency aids in the absorption of the active ingredients, Dexamethasone and Piroxicam.

Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, works by reducing inflammation and itching, providing relief from the discomfort associated with these skin conditions. Piroxicam, on the other hand, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps alleviate pain and swelling. The combination of these two medications in one formulation may offer enhanced effectiveness compared to using either medication alone.

However, it's important to be aware that this combination may increase the risk of certain side effects, including skin irritation, burning, or stinging. Patients using this topical gel should be closely monitored for signs of skin irritation. If any side effects occur, it is recommended to contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Patients should also be advised to avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes when applying the gel. It is crucial to use the medication as directed by a healthcare provider and not to exceed the recommended amount. This will help ensure the safe and appropriate use of Dexamethasone 2%/Piroxicam 0.1% Topical Gel.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dexamethasone 2%/Piroxicam 0.1% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation that combines the anti-inflammatory properties of two potent medications. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, works to alleviate inflammation and itching, while Piroxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aids in reducing pain and swelling.

It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency of application. Using more or less of the medication, or applying it more frequently than advised, may increase the risk of potential 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.
