Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Doxepin 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a potent medication primarily used to manage a range of conditions such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, neuropathic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This formulation belongs to the class of tricyclic antidepressants and functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that play a crucial role in mood regulation.

The medication is available in two forms: immediate-release and extended-release, and is typically administered once or twice daily. The solid dosage form of Doxepin 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that encase the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

It also aids in reducing symptoms of anxiety, such as restlessness, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. Furthermore, doxepin can enhance sleep quality and decrease the time it takes to fall asleep.

Another significant use of doxepin is in the treatment of neuropathic pain, a type of pain caused by nerve damage. It functions by blocking the transmission of pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby helping to reduce pain, improve sleep, and enhance the quality of life.

Lastly, doxepin is also used to manage PTSD, a condition characterized by intrusive memories, flashbacks, and nightmares. It can help alleviate symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety, irritability, and difficulty sleeping.

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.
