How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketamine HCl 10% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation designed for targeted treatment of various conditions such as chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. The active ingredient, ketamine hydrochloride, is a non-opioid analgesic that functions by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitter glutamate, a key player in pain perception. This topical medication is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application directly onto the skin of the affected area.

Upon application, the gel is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, with effects typically felt within minutes. The recommended usage is generally twice daily. It is also utilized in the treatment of neuropathic pain, a type of pain caused by nerve damage.

Generally well-tolerated, Ketamine HCl 10% Topical Gel presents few side effects, making it a appropriate treatment option for chronic pain, depression, and anxiety.

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.
