Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Imiquimod 5%/Diclofenac Sodium 1% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various skin conditions including actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, Bowen's disease, squamous cell carcinoma, and molluscum contagiosum. This cream combines the potent effects of Imiquimod, an immune response modifier, and Diclofenac Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Imiquimod works by stimulating the body's own immune system to combat the virus that causes molluscum contagiosum. On the other hand, Diclofenac Sodium reduces inflammation and pain. When used in combination, these two active ingredients can effectively reduce the size and number of lesions caused by the aforementioned skin conditions.

The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is designed for localized treatment, ensuring that the active ingredients are absorbed precisely where they are needed. Patients are advised to apply the cream to the affected area twice daily for a period of up to 16 weeks.

It is crucial to avoid applying the cream on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth should be avoided. Common side effects of Imiquimod 5%/Diclofenac Sodium 1% Topical Cream include redness, itching, burning, and irritation at the application site. If any of these side effects occur, patients are advised to contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Imiquimod 5%/Diclofenac Sodium 1% Topical Cream is a powerful tool in the treatment of various skin conditions. However, it is important to use it as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

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.
