Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Diclofenac Sodium 5%, Gabapentin 6%, Magnesium Chloride 10%, and Tizanidine HCl 0.2% is a topical gel designed for targeted treatment of various conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Neuropathic Pain, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Muscle Spasms. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin.

Diclofenac Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant, functions by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Magnesium Chloride, a mineral supplement, aids in reducing inflammation and muscle spasms. Tizanidine HCl, a muscle relaxant, operates by blocking nerve impulses that trigger muscle spasms. This unique combination of medications is designed to alleviate inflammation, pain, and muscle spasms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

Patients are advised to apply the gel to the affected area twice daily, massaging it into the skin until it is fully absorbed. It is important to avoid applying the gel to broken or irritated skin. Additionally, contact with the eyes and mucous membranes should be avoided. In the event of any adverse reactions, patients should immediately contact their 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.
