How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Gabapentin 5% Oral Rinse is a specially compounded liquid solution designed for therapeutic purposes. It is primarily used in the treatment of neuropathic pain, seizures, and anxiety. The active ingredient, Gabapentin, works by blocking certain nerve signals in the brain, which aids in reducing pain and other symptoms associated with these conditions.

The administration of this medication is unique. It is not meant to be swallowed like a traditional oral medication. Instead, the patient is instructed to swish the medication around in the mouth for approximately 30 seconds before expectorating. This method allows the medication to directly interact with the oral cavity, providing targeted relief.

It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Misuse or incorrect administration of Gabapentin 5% Oral Rinse can lead to potential side effects. Therefore, it is always recommended to follow the instructions carefully and consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns regarding the medication.

However, it is important to remember that every patient's condition and response to medication can vary. Therefore, it is essential to maintain regular communication with your healthcare provider to ensure the medication is providing the desired relief and to adjust the treatment plan if necessary.

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.
