Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into a body cavity, typically the rectum or vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. The medication is then absorbed locally or systemically, depending on the treatment requirements.

This formulation combines the potent anesthetic properties of lidocaine with the anti-inflammatory benefits of hydrocortisone. Lidocaine works by numbing the affected area, reducing pain and itching associated with these conditions. On the other hand, hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation and swelling, further alleviating discomfort.

The Lidocaine HCl 2%/Hydrocortisone 1% Suppository is easy to use and can be self-administered at home, making it a convenient option for those seeking relief from these conditions. However, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this product to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of this formulation, or if you are unsure about the correct method of administration, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and advice to ensure you are using the product correctly and safely.

Overuse or prolonged use beyond the prescribed duration is not recommended. Additionally, this formulation should not be applied on broken or irritated skin.

If any side effects such as burning, stinging, or irritation at the application site are experienced, patients should immediately contact their healthcare provider. Similarly, if there is no improvement in symptoms or if new or worsening symptoms are noticed, medical advice should be sought promptly.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any other medications, supplements, or herbal products they are currently taking, as these may interact with this formulation. It is always important to maintain open communication with your healthcare provider to ensure appropriate treatment.

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.
