How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Miconazole Nitrate 1%/Metronidazole 2% Topical Cream is a dual-action medication designed to address various skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the antifungal properties of miconazole nitrate with the antibiotic capabilities of metronidazole. Miconazole nitrate functions by eliminating the fungus responsible for the infection, while metronidazole targets and kills the bacteria causing the infection. Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate inflammation, itching, and other symptoms associated with the skin condition.

The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application. It should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Prior to application, it is crucial to wash your hands. The cream should be applied in a thin layer and gently massaged into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Unless instructed by your healthcare provider, the treated area should not be covered with a bandage or any other type of covering.

For optimal results, it is essential to use the cream for the entire duration of the treatment, even if symptoms appear to improve. Discontinuing the medication prematurely may result in the return of the infection. If you have any queries regarding the usage of Miconazole Nitrate 1%/Metronidazole 2% Topical Cream, do not hesitate to seek advice from 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.
