Ibuprofen 20%/Piroxicam 1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address various inflammatory conditions. This unique formulation combines two potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Ibuprofen and Piroxicam, to create a synergistic effect that effectively reduces inflammation and pain. Ibuprofen functions as a non-selective COX inhibitor, while Piroxicam operates as a selective COX-2 inhibitor.
The topical gel formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which facilitates easy and precise application on the skin. This method of delivery allows for targeted treatment and absorption of the active ingredients, providing a sustained release that ensures a more consistent and prolonged effect compared to oral medications. The gel-like consistency of the Ibuprofen 20%/Piroxicam 1% Topical Gel also minimizes the risk of systemic side effects, such as gastrointestinal upset, which are often associated with oral medications.
However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used by patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to either Ibuprofen or Piroxicam. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, we encourage you to reach out for further information.
Ibuprofen 20%/Piroxicam 1% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation designed for easy and precise application on the skin. It is primarily used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various disease states. The active ingredients, Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Piroxicam, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, work together to alleviate these symptoms. However, this combination may increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, ulceration, and perforation. Patients should promptly report any signs or symptoms of GI bleeding, such as epigastric pain, dyspepsia, melena, and hematemesis. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol while using this medication.
Concurrent use of Ibuprofen 20%/Piroxicam 1% Topical Gel with other NSAIDs or salicylates may heighten the risk of adverse reactions, including GI bleeding. Patients are advised against taking other NSAIDs or salicylates while using this medication. This topical gel may also increase the risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Any signs or symptoms of a CV event, including chest pain, shortness of breath, or weakness on one side of the body, should be treated as a medical emergency.
Furthermore, Ibuprofen 20%/Piroxicam 1% Topical Gel may heighten the risk of serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Any signs or symptoms of a serious skin reaction, such as rash, blisters, or peeling of the skin, should be treated as a medical emergency. This medication may also increase the risk of serious renal events, including acute renal failure. Any signs or symptoms of a serious renal event, such as decreased urine output, swelling of the extremities, or difficulty breathing, should be treated as a medical emergency.

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.

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