A small arrow pointing down

The combination of these two medications in a single capsule provides a precise dosage.

When taking Niacin 50 mg/Meclizine HCl 12.5 mg Capsules, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The typical adult dosage is one capsule taken orally every 12 hours as needed. It is advised not to exceed two capsules within a 24-hour period.

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.
