Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Fluoxetine 40 mg/Gm Topical Lipoderm® is a specially compounded topical medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), with Lipoderm®, a sophisticated topical delivery system. The medication is primarily used to manage and alleviate symptoms associated with skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.

Fluoxetine, the active ingredient, is an SSRI that functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation and behavior. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin, fluoxetine aids in reducing inflammation and enhancing skin health. This mechanism of action makes it a potent ingredient in the treatment of various skin conditions.

Lipoderm®, on the other hand, is a topical delivery system that ensures the fluoxetine is directly delivered to the skin. This targeted delivery allows for optimal absorption and effectiveness, ensuring that the active ingredient reaches the affected area and works where it is most needed. The Lipoderm® base also provides a gel-like consistency, which is dispensed through a pump mechanism for easy and precise application.

It has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve overall skin health, and lessen the severity of symptoms associated with various skin conditions. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your skin condition, please consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
