Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Orphenadrine Citrate 5% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to provide targeted treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, ensuring easy and precise application directly onto the skin. The gel-like consistency allows for optimal absorption of the active ingredient, orphenadrine citrate, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant.

Orphenadrine Citrate works by blocking certain nerve impulses in the brain and spinal cord, effectively reducing muscle spasms and associated pain. This makes it a suitable treatment for conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and other chronic pain conditions. It can also be used to alleviate acute muscle spasms and pain resulting from injuries.

One of the key advantages of Orphenadrine Citrate 5% Topical Gel is its ease of use. The pump mechanism allows for direct application to the affected area, ensuring targeted treatment and minimal side effects. While some users may experience skin irritation, redness, or itching, these side effects are generally mild and manageable.

We understand that each patient's needs are unique, and we are committed to providing personalized solutions to help manage your musculoskeletal condition.

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.
