Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg/Hydrocodone Bitartrate 5 mg Capsules is a compounded medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and cough. This formulation combines two potent active ingredients, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and hydrocodone bitartrate, to provide comprehensive symptom relief.

Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that effectively reduces nasal congestion and sinus pressure. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, thereby decreasing swelling and congestion. On the other hand, hydrocodone bitartrate is an opioid analgesic that suppresses the cough reflex and provides pain relief. It does this by acting on certain centers in the brain to give you relief from cough and discomfort.

This compounded formulation is presented in the form of capsules. These capsules are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, ensuring a precise dosage of the active ingredients is delivered with each use.

It is crucial to note that Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg/Hydrocodone Bitartrate 5 mg Capsules should only be used for the relief of symptoms associated with nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and cough, and not for any other conditions. This medication should be taken orally as directed by a healthcare provider. It is also important to be aware that this formulation may cause drowsiness, so caution should be exercised when operating machinery or driving.

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.
