How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Lorazepam 1 mg/Gm Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, panic disorder, and agitation. The active ingredient in this formulation is lorazepam, a benzodiazepine that functions by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that aids in reducing nerve cell activity in the brain. This action helps alleviate symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

This topical cream is designed for direct application on the skin, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream to provide symptom relief. The cream's semisolid preparation is dispensed via a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application, ensuring localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The frequency of application can vary, typically once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition being treated.

It is crucial to be aware that lorazepam can induce drowsiness, and therefore, it is advised not to use this medication while driving or operating heavy machinery. As with any medication, it is important to use Lorazepam 1 mg/Gm Topical Cream as directed by a healthcare professional. If you have any questions or concerns about using this medication, it is recommended to consult with a 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.
