Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

The Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg/Diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg Suppository is a specially compounded medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with coughs, colds, and allergies. This unique formulation combines the potent effects of two active ingredients: dextromethorphan hydrobromide and diphenhydramine hydrochloride.

On the other hand, diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive relief from symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

This medication is presented in a suppository form, a solid dosage form that is inserted into a body cavity, typically the rectum or vagina. The suppository dissolves or melts to release the medication, allowing for local or systemic absorption. This form of administration is not only easy but also ensures quick relief from symptoms.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Additionally, caution should be exercised when used by patients with certain medical conditions, including glaucoma, asthma, or heart disease. This formulation may cause drowsiness, so it is advised not to be used while operating a motor vehicle or machinery.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are committed to providing our patients with high-quality compounded medications like the Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg/Diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg Suppository. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help manage your condition, please feel free to contact us.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg/Diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg Suppository is a compounded formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with the common cold, allergies, hay fever, and other respiratory illnesses. This combination medication works by inhibiting the action of certain natural substances in the body that trigger symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, itching, and other allergy-related discomforts.

The Dextromethorphan HBr component of this medication serves to suppress coughing, providing relief from persistent and irritating coughs. On the other hand, the Diphenhydramine HCl component is an antihistamine that effectively reduces symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose, which are common in allergic reactions and hay fever.

This medication is presented in a suppository form, which is designed to be inserted into the rectum. The suppository dissolves or melts once inserted, allowing the medication to be absorbed locally or systemically. This method of administration ensures a direct and efficient delivery of the medication to the body.

It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist when using this medication. This includes the correct dosage, frequency, and duration of use. If you have any queries or concerns regarding this medication, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for accurate information and guidance.

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.
