Famotidine 2.5 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions in pets. This formulation is engineered to alleviate itching, inflammation, and other symptoms associated with these conditions.

The active ingredient in this topical cream is famotidine, an H2-receptor antagonist.

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, making it easy and convenient to apply. It is designed for controlled application on the skin, ensuring localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. It can be used on both cats and dogs, making it a versatile addition to your pet's healthcare regimen.

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.
