Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Trazodone HCl 100 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a potent medication designed to address a range of mental health conditions. These include depression, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. As an antidepressant, Trazodone functions by enhancing the amount of serotonin in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation and sleep improvement. Trazodone is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects, making it a preferred choice for managing mental health conditions.

The medication is encapsulated in a gluten-free capsule form, making it an ideal choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities. 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, and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

For patients suffering from depression, Trazodone can help alleviate symptoms such as persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and difficulty concentrating. It can also enhance sleep quality and reduce anxiety levels. For those dealing with anxiety, Trazodone can help mitigate feelings of worry, restlessness, and irritability. For insomnia patients, Trazodone can improve sleep quality and decrease the time it takes to fall asleep.

In the case of bipolar disorder, Trazodone can help manage manic symptoms such as heightened energy, racing thoughts, and impulsivity. For patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, Trazodone can help alleviate symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance of reminders of the traumatic event.

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.
