Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Lidocaine HCl 4%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Menthol 0.5% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various skin conditions. The gel also provides relief from symptoms associated with these conditions, including itching, burning, and pain.

The formulation combines the properties of lidocaine and hydrocortisone for a synergistic effect. Lidocaine acts as a local anesthetic, numbing the skin to alleviate pain, while hydrocortisone serves as an anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agent, reducing inflammation and itching. The addition of menthol provides a cooling sensation, further helping to alleviate the sensation of itching and burning.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. This targeted treatment ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively in the affected area. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying the gel. If contact occurs, the area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.

Patients should be advised not to use this formulation on broken or infected skin, and to avoid using it for longer than recommended by a healthcare provider. Concurrent use of other topical medications should also be avoided, as this may increase the risk of side effects. Regular monitoring for signs of adverse reactions, such as skin irritation, redness, or swelling, is recommended. If any of these symptoms occur, patients should discontinue use of the formulation and contact their healthcare provider.

For any questions or concerns regarding this formulation or its use, please consult with a healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lidocaine HCl 4%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Menthol 0.5% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed to provide targeted relief from a variety of skin conditions. This unique blend combines the local anesthetic properties of Lidocaine HCl, the anti-inflammatory benefits of Hydrocortisone, and the soothing effects of Menthol.

Lidocaine HCl works by blocking nerve signals in the area where the gel is applied, offering temporary relief from pain and itching. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, aids in reducing inflammation and redness. Menthol contributes a cooling sensation that helps to soothe the skin.

Upon application, the gel quickly penetrates the skin, delivering the active ingredients directly to the affected area. The Lidocaine HCl provides immediate relief from pain and itching, while the Hydrocortisone and Menthol work in tandem to reduce inflammation and provide a cooling sensation. For optimal results, the gel should be applied to the affected area two to three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used on broken skin or for more than seven days without consulting a healthcare provider. If you have any questions about the use of this formulation, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.

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.
