Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Sodium Bicarbonate 333 mg/Citric Acid 271 mg Suppository formulation is a solid dosage form designed for insertion into a body cavity, typically the rectum or vagina. Upon insertion, it dissolves or melts, releasing the medication for local or systemic absorption.

It is crucial to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider. Potential side effects may include abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea. Furthermore, this formulation may interact with other medications, including but not limited to antacids, antibiotics, and diuretics. Therefore, it is essential for patients to inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are currently taking before starting this treatment.

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.
