Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 2.5%/Lidocaine 2% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the anti-inflammatory properties of hydrocortisone with the numbing effects of lidocaine, providing both relief from discomfort and a reduction in swelling.

The Hydrocortisone 2.5%/Lidocaine 2% Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures that the right amount of medication is applied to the affected area, minimizing waste and maximizing effectiveness.

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.
