How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketamine 0.4% Oral Rinse is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of oral conditions. This liquid solution is formulated with ketamine, an anesthetic that functions by blocking nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. The rinse also includes other ingredients such as glycerin, which aids in preventing the solution from drying out.

This topical solution is applied directly to the affected area within the mouth. It is typically used twice daily, after meals and at bedtime. The rinse should be swished around the mouth for at least one minute before being expectorated. It is crucial to avoid swallowing the rinse to prevent potential side effects.

It can also be used to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with dental procedures.

As with any medication, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this formulation. If you have any questions or concerns about using Ketamine 0.4% Oral Rinse, please consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it is the best treatment option for your specific condition.

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.
