The ease of use and direct application make this formulation a practical choice for many patients.

It is crucial to remember that Diazepam 2% Topical/Rectal Cream should not be used for more than two weeks without consulting a healthcare provider. This is to ensure the safe and appropriate use of the medication, as prolonged use may lead to potential side effects or complications.

Alcohol may interact with this formulation, enhancing the sedative effects of the medication. It is advised to avoid alcohol consumption while using this medication.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Diazepam 2% Topical/Rectal Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of conditions such as muscle spasms, seizures, and anxiety. This semisolid preparation is dispensed via a pump mechanism, ensuring a controlled and convenient application. Depending on the condition being treated, the cream can be applied either topically or rectally.

When applied topically, the cream is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream. It then binds to receptors in the brain, helping to alleviate muscle spasms and seizures. In contrast, when applied rectally, the cream is absorbed through the rectal mucosa, entering the bloodstream and binding to brain receptors to help reduce anxiety.

Patients should apply the cream as directed by their healthcare provider, taking care to follow the instructions meticulously and not exceed the recommended dosage. It is important to note that the cream should not be used on broken or irritated skin. If the cream comes into contact with the eyes, it should be washed off immediately with soap and water.

Prescribers should exercise caution when prescribing this cream to patients with a history of drug abuse or addiction. It should also be used with caution in patients with a history of depression or suicidal thoughts. The cream should not be used in combination with other medications that have similar effects, such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates, to avoid potential drug interactions.

If you have any questions or concerns about Diazepam 2% Topical/Rectal Cream, please do not hesitate to reach out.

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.
