Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Diphenylcyclopropenone 5% Topical Cream is a specially formulated treatment primarily used for alopecia areata, a medical condition that results in unpredictable and often patchy hair loss. The active ingredient, Diphenylcyclopropenone, functions by triggering an immune response in the targeted area. This immune response leads to the destruction of the hair follicles, which paradoxically stimulates hair regrowth.

This cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which is designed for easy and controlled application on the skin. It is intended for localized treatment, allowing for the absorption of active ingredients directly into the affected area. The cream should be applied twice daily, ensuring that it is not used on broken or irritated skin.

It is crucial to be aware that this cream may cause skin irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin. Therefore, it should be used with caution. It is also important to manage expectations regarding the results of this treatment. The cream may take several months to show noticeable results and it may not be effective in all cases.

While this cream is a potent treatment for alopecia areata, it is not a guaranteed cure for all cases. The effectiveness of the treatment can vary significantly from person to person. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting this treatment to discuss potential risks and benefits.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Diphenylcyclopropenone 5% Topical Cream, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information and guidance.

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.
