Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Lorazepam 5 mg/Gm Topical Lipoderm Gel is a compounded formulation designed for targeted treatment of various conditions. It is primarily used for the management of anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, panic disorder, and restless leg syndrome. Lorazepam, the active ingredient, is a benzodiazepine that enhances the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that aids in reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.

For anxiety, this formulation can help alleviate symptoms such as fear, worry, and tension. In cases of insomnia, it can assist with difficulties in falling and staying asleep. For epilepsy, it can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. For panic disorder, it can help decrease the frequency and intensity of panic attacks. For restless leg syndrome, it can help reduce the urge to move the legs.

However, caution should be exercised when using this formulation, especially in patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse, as it can be habit-forming. It should also be used with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease, as it can be metabolized more slowly in these patients. Monitoring for signs of sedation, confusion, and respiratory depression is recommended. Additionally, signs of withdrawal, including anxiety, insomnia, and seizures, should be closely observed.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in combination with other benzodiazepines or alcohol, as this can increase the risk of serious side effects. Patients should also be advised to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking this medication. If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please reach out to us.

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.
