How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Pseudoephedrine HCl 90 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specialized formulation designed to provide extended relief from symptoms associated with allergies, the common cold, sinusitis, and various respiratory conditions. These include nasal congestion, sinus pressure, sinus headaches, ear congestion, bronchial asthma, and bronchitis. The key to this formulation is the use of Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer that encapsulates the active ingredient, allowing it to be gradually released over an extended period of time.

This slow release mechanism offers several benefits. It provides sustained therapeutic effects, reducing the need for frequent dosing and thereby improving patient compliance. It also ensures a more consistent relief from symptoms, as the medication is released at a steady rate throughout the day. This is particularly beneficial for conditions that require a controlled and prolonged release profile, such as chronic respiratory conditions and severe allergies.

When using Pseudoephedrine HCl 90 mg Slow Release Capsules, it's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration instructions. The capsules should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water, without crushing or chewing them. This is to ensure the integrity of the controlled-release mechanism. Taking the medication at the same time each day is also recommended to maintain a consistent release of the medication. Exceeding the recommended dose can lead to serious side effects and should be avoided.

If you have any questions or concerns about Pseudoephedrine HCl 90 mg Slow Release Capsules, please don't hesitate to reach out. It's important to fully understand how your medication works and how to use it effectively to manage your symptoms.

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.
