How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lidocaine HCl 1%/Diphenhydramine HCl 2%/Dexamethasone 0.5%/Cimetidine 4% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed to address various skin conditions. This unique blend combines the anesthetic properties of Lidocaine HCl 1%, the antihistamine effects of Diphenhydramine HCl 2%, the corticosteroid benefits of Dexamethasone 0.5%, and the antacid capabilities of Cimetidine 4%. Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate inflammation, itching, and pain associated with skin conditions.

Lidocaine HCl 1% functions by numbing the affected area, thereby reducing pain and itching. Diphenhydramine HCl 2% operates by inhibiting the release of histamine, a substance produced by the body in response to allergens, thus reducing inflammation and itching. Dexamethasone 0.5% contributes by suppressing the immune system, which in turn reduces inflammation and itching. Cimetidine 4% aids in reducing inflammation and itching by inhibiting the production of stomach acid.

This compounded formulation is dispensed as a semisolid gel through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment and optimal absorption of the active ingredients. It is crucial to adhere to the directions on the label and use the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Avoid applying more than the recommended amount or using it more frequently than advised. If you have any queries regarding the usage of this medication, it is recommended to consult with 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.
