Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded suppository formulation is composed of Metoclopramide 20 mg, Dexamethasone 10 mg, and Diphenhydramine HCl 50 mg. It is designed to be inserted into a body cavity, typically the rectum or vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. This allows for local or systemic absorption of the active ingredients.

The formulation is primarily used to manage symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness. Furthermore, it can be utilized to mitigate the severity of allergic reactions, thanks to the combined action of its active ingredients.

Metoclopramide, a dopamine antagonist, works by reducing feelings of nausea and vomiting. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, aids in reducing inflammation and itching. Diphenhydramine HCl, an antihistamine, is instrumental in reducing the severity of allergic reactions.

When used as directed, this suppository formulation is safe and generally well-tolerated. However, as with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions to ensure optimal effectiveness and minimize potential side effects. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and support to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.

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.
