Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Lidocaine HCl 4%/Dexamethasone 0.4% Iontophoresis Solution is a specialized compounded formulation designed for use in iontophoresis therapy. This unique therapy utilizes an electric current to facilitate the transdermal delivery of medication directly through the skin, providing targeted treatment for a variety of conditions.

This solution contains two active ingredients: lidocaine hydrochloride and dexamethasone. Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in your body, effectively reducing pain and inflammation in the targeted area. Dexamethasone, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that reduces itching, swelling, and redness associated with allergic reactions and other conditions.

Together, these two ingredients create a potent solution for managing pain, inflammation, and allergic reactions. This formulation can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, offering a versatile solution for localized drug delivery.

It is crucial to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. Misuse or overuse can lead to unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its application, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are committed to providing high-quality compounded medications to meet the unique needs of our patients. We are here to answer any questions you may have about Lidocaine HCl 4%/Dexamethasone 0.4% Iontophoresis Solution or any other compounded medications.

This innovative treatment method uses an electric current to facilitate the transdermal delivery of medication through the skin, providing targeted treatment for a variety of conditions.

If any signs of irritation or adverse reactions occur, patients should be advised to discontinue use immediately.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lidocaine HCl 4%/Dexamethasone 0.4% Iontophoresis Solution is a specialized liquid formulation designed for use in iontophoresis therapy. This innovative treatment method employs a low-level electrical current to facilitate the transdermal delivery of medication, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin than traditional topical applications.

The solution contains two active ingredients: Lidocaine HCl and Dexamethasone. Lidocaine HCl is a local anesthetic that works by numbing the skin and surrounding area, providing relief from pain and discomfort. Dexamethasone, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and redness. The combination of these two medications can provide comprehensive relief from the symptoms associated with various skin conditions.

To use the Lidocaine HCl 4%/Dexamethasone 0.4% Iontophoresis Solution, the affected area should first be thoroughly cleaned and dried. The solution is then applied using an iontophoresis machine, which passes a low-level electrical current through the skin. This process allows the medication to reach the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing its effectiveness. The solution should be left on the skin for the recommended duration, typically between 10-20 minutes, before being removed and the area rinsed with water.

It's important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about the Lidocaine HCl 4%/Dexamethasone 0.4% Iontophoresis Solution, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and support to ensure you get the most benefit from your 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.
