How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoconazole 100 mg Capsules are a solid dosage form, composed of two shells, either gelatin or vegetarian, that enclose the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. These capsules are primarily used to treat a wide range of fungal infections, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and yeast infections.

The medication functions by inhibiting the growth of the fungi responsible for these infections. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider.

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.
