Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Ibuprofen 200 mg Slow Release Capsules (Gluten Free) is a specially formulated medication designed to treat a variety of conditions such as arthritis, migraine, fever, pain, and inflammation. This unique formulation incorporates Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer, which ensures a gradual release of the encapsulated ibuprofen over an extended period of time. This slow release mechanism offers sustained therapeutic effects, reducing the need for frequent dosing and thereby improving patient compliance, particularly for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation and pain. Additionally, it can be used to treat migraine headaches, reduce fever, and alleviate pain from a variety of conditions.

The slow release formulation of ibuprofen is especially beneficial for individuals with inflammation-related conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis. By releasing the medication gradually, this formulation minimizes the risk of side effects commonly associated with long-term use of ibuprofen, such as stomach upset and ulcers.

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.
