Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Diclofenac Sodium 1.5%/Camphor 6%/Menthol 6% Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is primarily used for localized treatment of conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and gout.

Diclofenac Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by blocking the production of certain chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. Camphor and Menthol, both topical analgesics, provide a cooling sensation and help reduce pain.

Patients are advised to apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area 3-4 times daily. It should not be applied to broken or irritated skin. After application, hands should be washed thoroughly. It is important to avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and if contact occurs, the area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.

Patients with allergies to any of the ingredients, a history of asthma or other breathing problems, or those taking any other medications that may interact with this cream should not use it. It is also advised that pregnant or breastfeeding women avoid using this cream.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any other medications they are taking, including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements. This cream may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, diuretics, lithium, and methotrexate. If patients are taking any of these medications, they should inform their healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it interacts with other medications, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation is a topical cream that combines Diclofenac Sodium 1.5%, Camphor 6%, and Menthol 6%. It is specifically designed to treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Tendinitis, Bursitis, and Gout. The active ingredient, Diclofenac Sodium, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation and pain.

Camphor and Menthol, the other two active ingredients, are topical analgesics. They work by creating a cooling sensation on the affected area, which aids in reducing pain and inflammation. When this cream is applied to the affected area, it works to alleviate the inflammation and pain associated with the aforementioned musculoskeletal conditions.

It is crucial to note that this cream should not be applied to open wounds or broken skin. Additionally, it should not be used for more than 14 days without consulting a healthcare professional. For conditions like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Tendinitis, Bursitis, and Gout, the cream should be applied to the affected area two to four times daily.

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.
