Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This topical solution is a compounded formulation of Diclofenac Sodium 3%, Lidocaine HCl 2%, and DMSO 30%. It is a liquid formulation intended for external application to the skin, providing a convenient and versatile means of delivering medication, therapeutic agents, or other active ingredients for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions or localized effects.

The solution is primarily used to treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and neuropathic pain. Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Lidocaine HCl, a local anesthetic, functions by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, thereby providing relief from pain. DMSO, a solvent, enhances the absorption of the other two active ingredients, ensuring their optimal effectiveness.

This topical solution is applied directly to the affected area, offering fast-acting relief from pain and inflammation. While it is generally well-tolerated, it may cause skin irritation or other side effects in some individuals. It is crucial for patients to use the medication as directed and to contact their healthcare provider if they experience any adverse effects.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use in treating osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, or neuropathic pain, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to assist you.

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.
