Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Diclofenac Sodium 5%/Lidocaine 2%/Prilocaine 2% Topical Gel is a semisolid preparation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism. This design allows for easy and precise application on the skin, targeting the specific area for treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency ensures a smooth application process, enhancing the user's experience.

The formulation is a potent treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and neuropathic pain. The combination of Diclofenac Sodium, Lidocaine, and Prilocaine provides a powerful analgesic effect, reducing inflammation and pain. Diclofenac Sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Lidocaine and Prilocaine, on the other hand, are local anesthetics that work by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, providing immediate relief from pain.

It is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. However, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to use the medication as directed. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Diclofenac Sodium 5%/Lidocaine 2%/Prilocaine 2% Topical Gel is a semisolid preparation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, ensuring targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The formulation combines three active ingredients: Diclofenac Sodium 5%, Lidocaine 2%, and Prilocaine 2%, each serving a specific purpose in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions.

Diclofenac Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by reducing inflammation and pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis. Lidocaine and Prilocaine, on the other hand, are local anesthetics that numb the skin and surrounding area, providing relief from neuropathic pain.

The gel is applied directly to the affected area, facilitating the absorption of the active ingredients into the skin. It can be used up to four times a day, depending on the severity of the condition and the advice of your healthcare provider. However, it is crucial to avoid applying the gel on open wounds, broken, or irritated skin to prevent adverse reactions. Similarly, avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental contact, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

It is always recommended to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist when using this formulation. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of this topical gel, do not hesitate to seek professional advice.

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.
