How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Diazoxide 3% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation specifically designed for external application to the skin. This medication is primarily used in the treatment of various dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. It functions by reducing inflammation and itching, and can also help to alleviate redness and swelling associated with these skin conditions.

The active ingredient in this solution, diazoxide, is a potassium channel opener. This means it works by reducing the amount of calcium in the cells, which in turn decreases inflammation. The solution is typically applied directly to the affected area of the skin, usually twice daily, providing a targeted treatment approach.

When using Diazoxide 3% Topical Solution, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The solution should be applied to clean, dry skin, and care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. It is also advised to avoid using the solution on broken or irritated skin, or on large areas of the body.

While Diazoxide 3% Topical Solution is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as burning, stinging, or redness at the application site. If these or any other side effects occur, it is important to immediately contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
