How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Papaverine HCl 5%/Arginine HCl 6% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as erectile dysfunction, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and Peyronie’s disease. This unique formulation combines the vasodilatory effects of Papaverine HCl, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels to enhance blood flow, with the nitric oxide-boosting properties of Arginine HCl, an amino acid that further aids in relaxing the blood vessels. The synergistic action of these two ingredients significantly improves blood circulation.

When applied topically, this cream is absorbed through the skin, allowing the active ingredients to enter the bloodstream and exert their effects. It is recommended to apply the cream to the affected area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. However, it is crucial to avoid applying the cream on broken or irritated skin.

For individuals dealing with erectile dysfunction, this cream can enhance blood flow to the penis, thereby improving erection quality. In the case of Raynaud’s phenomenon, the cream can boost circulation to the affected areas, mitigating the frequency and severity of attacks. For those suffering from Peyronie’s disease, the cream can alleviate the associated pain and inflammation.

If you have any queries or require further information about Papaverine HCl 5%/Arginine HCl 6% Topical Cream, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to assisting you in finding the most suitable treatment option for your specific 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.
