This combination of medications works synergistically to provide relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of these conditions, including itching, burning, and pain.

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.

A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
