This innovative compound is designed to address a range of disease states, including chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. The synergistic effect of these two active ingredients can help alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketamine HCl 10%/Loperamide HCl 7% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent effects of ketamine hydrochloride and loperamide hydrochloride to alleviate inflammation, itching, and pain associated with various skin conditions.

Ketamine hydrochloride, an anesthetic, functions by blocking nerve signals in the brain, thereby reducing the sensation of pain. On the other hand, loperamide hydrochloride, an opioid, works by decreasing the activity of the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. The synergistic action of these two active ingredients helps to effectively manage inflammation, itching, and pain associated with skin conditions.

When applied topically, this semisolid formulation is rapidly absorbed into the skin, providing targeted treatment and relief from the symptoms of the condition. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. It is recommended to apply the gel to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the directions on the label and not to exceed the recommended dosage.

It can also be used to alleviate itching, burning, and pain associated with these conditions.

If you have any queries about Ketamine HCl 10%/Loperamide HCl 7% Topical Gel or any other compounded medications, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment for your condition.

About this compounded preparation

This formulation is compounded by Bayview Pharmacy on a prescriber's order for an individual patient. It is not an FDA-approved drug product, and the FDA has not evaluated it for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality.

This preparation is a controlled substance. Additional prescribing, refill, and shipping restrictions apply, and the states Bayview can dispense it to are narrower than for non-controlled preparations.

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.
