How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Diazoxide 30 mg Capsules are a potent medication used in the treatment of various health conditions such as hypertension, hypoglycemia, and edema. The active ingredient, Diazoxide, functions by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels. This action allows the vessels to widen, leading to a reduction in blood pressure. Furthermore, Diazoxide aids in controlling blood sugar levels by reducing the amount of sugar released from the liver into the bloodstream.

Another significant benefit of Diazoxide 30 mg Capsules is its ability to decrease the amount of fluid in the body, thereby reducing swelling and edema. This medication should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is once or twice daily, and it can be taken with or without food. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not to miss any doses to ensure the effectiveness of the medication.

If you have any queries or concerns about how to take this medication, or if you experience any side effects, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
