How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Doxylamine Succinate 20 mg/Pyridoxine HCl 100 mg Slow Release Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of conditions such as nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and premenstrual syndrome. The active ingredients in this formulation are doxylamine succinate, an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, and pyridoxine hydrochloride, a form of vitamin B6 that aids in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and sleep.

This formulation is encapsulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This polymer is designed to gradually release the encapsulated medication over an extended period of time. This slow release mechanism offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduces the frequency of dosing, and improves patient compliance, particularly for medications that require a controlled and prolonged release profile.

The recommended dose for this formulation is one capsule taken orally once daily, preferably at bedtime. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and not to exceed the recommended dose. Additionally, it is important to avoid taking this medication with alcohol or other medications that may cause drowsiness, as this can enhance the sedative effects of doxylamine succinate.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its mechanism of action, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the most accurate and personalized information based on your specific health condition and medication needs.

This innovative design allows for the gradual release of the encapsulated medication over an extended period, providing sustained therapeutic effects. This slow-release mechanism can lead to reduced dosing frequency, enhancing patient compliance, particularly for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

The Doxylamine Succinate component of this formulation is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of motion sickness, such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. It can also be beneficial in managing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, including irritability, mood swings, and anxiety. Furthermore, it may be used to address symptoms of restless leg syndrome, such as an urge to move the legs, tingling or burning sensations in the legs, and difficulty sleeping.

The Pyridoxine HCl component, a form of vitamin B6, can be used to treat anemia caused by a deficiency of this vitamin. It is essential for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A deficiency in vitamin B6 can lead to a specific type of anemia, and this formulation can help address that.

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.
